Question

The volume (in L) that would be occupied by 5.00 mols of 02 at STP is

Answer 1

Answer : The volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L

Solution : Given,

The number of moles of $O_2$ = 5 moles

At STP, the temperature is 273 K and pressure is 1 atm.

Using ideal gas law equation :

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas

V = volume of gas

n = the number of moles

T = temperature of gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mole K   (Given)

By rearranging the above ideal gas law equation, we get

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get the value of volume.

$V=\frac{(5moles)\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (273K)}{1atm}=112.0665L$

Therefore, the volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L
