Question

At STP, what volume of container would be needed to hold 3.2 moles of gas?

Answer 1

78.4 L volume of container is required to hold 3.2 moles of gas.

Explanation:

• STP is defined as the standard temperature and pressure of a gas in room temperature conditions. At STP, one mole of the gas which has Avogadro's number of molecules in it will occupy a volume of 22.4 L.
• So, one mole of a substance or gas will occupy a volume of 22.4 L then the volume of the container needed for  3.2 moles of gas is calculated by multiplying 22.4 L, standard volume with the moles of the gas 3.2 moles.
• Hence, the answer would be 78.4 L.
