Answer:

1200 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept tested: Molar gas Volume at RTP

From the question we are given;

  • 0.05 mol of sulfur (IV) oxide gas.

We are required to determine the volume in mL of Sulfur IV oxide.

What doe we need to know?

  • We need to know how much volume a mole of a gas occupies at room temperature and pressure (RTP).
  • That is, 1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 24 L or 24000 mL at RTP.
  • Therefore; 1 mole of Sulfur dioxide will occupy a volume of 2400 mL

Hence;

  • To calculate the volume, we multiply the number of moles with the molar gas volume at RTP.

Volume = 0.05 mol × 24000 mL/mol

= 1200 mL

Therefore, the volume of SO₂ is 1200 mL
