A given amount of gas occupies 10.0 dm3 at 4 atm and 273°C. The number of moles of the gas present is…
[Molar volume of a gas at stp. = 22.4 dm3 ]
A. 0.89 mol
B. 1.90 mol
C. 3.80 mol
D. 5.70 mol
QUICK ANSWER…
A
SOLUTION…
Be careful…
We know that 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 dm3 in volume, but this is at STP.
Now STP = standard temperature and pressure = 273K and 1 atm
In this question, we are given the volume at 4 atm and 273 degree Celsius, we must use this to find the volume at STP ( 273K, 1atm), and then use this new volume to calculate the right number of moles.
So, we will use the general gas equation:
Now for the right answer to the above question:
- Option A is correct.
- Option B is incorrect.
- C is incorrect.
- D is not the correct answer.
QUICK TIPS…
You may please note these/this:
- 22.4 dm3 is the standard volume of 1 mole of all gasses at STP.
- If a volume is given at other conditions, then use gas laws to reconvert to STP conditions before calculating the appropriate number of moles.
