As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

The volume of a sample of nitrogen is 6.00 liters at 35oC and 0.75 atm. What volume will it occupy at STP?
joja [24]
The  volume that  will  occupy  at STP  is  calculated   as  follows
by use  of ideal  gas  equation
that is  PV=nRT  where n  is  number of  moles  calculate  number of moles

n= PV/RT
p=0.75 atm
V=6.0  L
R = 0.0821  L.atm/k.mol
T=  35  +273= 308k
n=?

n=  (o.75  atm  x  6.0 L)/( 0.0821 L.atm/k.mol  x 308 k)=  0.178 moles

Agt  STP  1 mole=  22.4 L  what obout  0.178 moles

=  22.4  x0.178moles/ 1moles =3.98 L( answer C)
