Answer:

<h3>V: gas volume , n : The number of moles of gas , Vm : molar volume </h3><h3 />

*The molar volume of any gas at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 22.4 L/mol

V= 101.3 L , n=? , Vm = 22.4 L/mol

101.3 = n × 22.4

n=101.3 / 22.4

n = 4.52 mol

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.522 \ mol}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of gas occupy a volume of 101.3 liters.

1 mole of any gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure) has a volume of 22.4 liters. We can use this information to make a proportion.

$\frac {1 \ mol}{22.4 \ L}$

We are converting 101.3 liters to moles, so we multiply the proportion by that value.

$101.3 \ L *\frac {1 \ mol}{22.4 \ L}$

The units of liters (L) cancel.

$101.3 *\frac {1 \ mol}{22.4}$

$\frac {101.3}{22.4} \ mol$

Divide.

$4.52232143 \ mol$

The original value of liters (101.3 L) has 4 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandths place. The 3 in the ten-thousandths place to the right tells us to leave the 2 in the thousandths place.

$4.522 \ mol$
