Answer:
12.32 L.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g
Volume of CH4 =?
Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 8.80 g of CH4. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g
Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1×4) = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol
Mole of CH4 =?
Mole = mass/Molar mass
Mole of CH4 = 8.80 / 16
Mole of CH4 = 0.55 mole.
Finally, we shall determine the volume of the gas at stp as illustrated below:
1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at stp.
Therefore, 0.55 mole of CH4 will occupy = 0.55 × 22.4 = 12.32 L.
Thus, 8.80 g of CH4 occupies 12.32 L at STP.
