<span>Pre-1982 definition of STP: 37 g/mol
Post-1982 definition of STP: 38 g/mol
This problem is somewhat ambiguous because the definition of STP changed in 1982. Prior to 1982, the definition was 273.15 K at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (101325 Pascals). Since 1982, the definition is 273.15 K at a pressure of exactly 100000 Pascals). Because of those 2 different definitions, the volume of 1 mole of gas is either 22.414 Liters (pre 1982 definition), or 22.71098 liters (post 1982 definition). And finally, there's entirely too many text books out there that still use the 35 year obsolete definition. So let's solve this problem using both definitions and you need to pick the correct answer for the text book you're using.
First, determine how many moles of gas you have. Just simply divide the volume you have by the molar volume.
Pre-1982: 2.1 / 22.414 = 0.093691443 moles
Post-1982: 2.1 / 22.71098 = 0.092466287 moles
Now determine the molar mass. Simply divide the mass by the moles. So
Pre-1982: 3.5 g / 0.093691443 moles = 37.35666667 g/mol
Post-1982: 3.5 g / 0.092466287 moles = 37.85163333 g/mol
Finally, round to 2 significant figures. So
Pre-1982: 37 g/mol
Post-1982: 38 g/mol</span>
Molecules are made up by chemically bonding two or more atoms of the same element or different elements, they don’t have charge, and the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds. <span>Lattices have a three- dimensional ordered arrangement of basic units (that can be an atom, molecule or an ion). Lattices are crystalline structures with these repeated basic units. When ions joined with ionic bonds, they form ionic crystals. The formula unit tells us that aluminium hydroxide has a crystal structure made from molecules. </span>
P1V1 = P2V2
1.2ATM*(.7 L) = V2 * .95L
V2 = 0.884 Liters or 884.21 ml
