Question

Calculate the volume of 4.50 mol of SO2 (g) measured at STP. At STP: P = 101.3 kPa, T = 273.15 K A. 87.3 L B. 101 L C. 127 L D. 232 L

Answer 1

B

101L

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the ideal gas relation

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 101.3KPa

V = volume = ?

n = number of moles = 4.5moles

T = Temperature = 273.15K

R = molar gas constant = 8.314J/mol.k

Rearranging the equation to make V the subject of the formula yields :

V = nRT/P

= ( 4.5 × 8.314 × 273.15) ÷ 101.3

= 10,219.361 ÷ 101.3 = 100.88L which is apprx 101L
