5.512 litres is the volume of 15.2 grams of sulphur dioxide gas at STP.
Explanation:
Data given:
mass of sulphur dioxide = 15.2 grams
conditions is at STP whech means volume = 22.4 litres
atomic mass of sulphur dioxide = 64.06 grams/mole
Number of moles is calculated as:
number of moles =
Putting the values in the equation:
number of moles =
= 0.23 moles
Assuming that sulphur dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the volume as:
When 1 mole of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 litres at STP
Then 0.23 moles of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 x 0.23
= 5.152 litres is the volume.
