Question

How many moles of argon are contained in 58 L of At at STP?

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 2.58 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of argon = ?

Volume occupy = 58 L

Temperature = 273.15 K

Pressure = 1 atm

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 × 58 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273.15 K

58 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/ mol.

n = 58 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L/ mol

n = 2.58 mol
