Question

What is the volume of 0.2 moles of neon gas at STP?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.5 L

Explanation: Ideal gas at STP standard temperature and pressure: at STP

P = 1 atm

T = 1 °C convert to K (273 K)

Solution:

PV= nRT

Derive the equation to find V

V= nRT / P

Substitute the values

V= 0.2 moles x 0.082 L.atm/ mol. K x 273 K / 1 atm

Cancel out the units of moles, atm and K so the remaining uni is in L.

Answer 2

Standard Molar Volume is the volume occupied by one mole of any gas at STP. Remember that "STP" is Standard Temperature and Pressure. Standard temperature is 0 &176:C or 273 K. Standard pressure is 1 atmosphere or 760 mm Hg (also called "torr"). 1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 liters of volume.
