Question

How many moles of chlorine are in 300 liters of chlorine

Answer 1

13.39 mol ≅ 13.4 mol.

Step-by-step explanation:

• It is known that 1.0 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at STP conditions.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of Cl₂ occupies → 22.4 L.

??? mole of Cl₂ occupies → 300.0 L.

∴ The no. of moles of Cl₂ are in 300 liters = (1.0 mol)(300.0 L)/(22.4 L) = 13.39 mol ≅ 13.4 mol.
