Question

a chemical reaction produced 2.50 moles of nitrogen gas. what volume in liters, does this gas sample occupy at STP? (show your work)

Answer 1

The volume of N₂ at STP=56 L

Further explanation

Given

2.5 moles of N₂

Required

The volume of the gas

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, the volume per mole of gas or the molar volume-Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.

So for 2.5 moles gas :

$\tt 2.5\times 22.4=56~L$
