Question

How many moles at STP would take up 44.8 liters?

Answer 1

Answer:

n =  2 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Volume = 44.8 L

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 44.8 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 273.15 K

44.8 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/ mol

n = 44.8 atm.L /   22.43 atm.L/ mol

n =  2 mol
