Answer:

0.326 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: Molar gas volume

We are given;

  • Volume of a gas is 7.30 L
  • Conditions are STP ( standard temperature and pressure)

We are supposed to determine the amount of the gas sample;

  • We need to know that based on molar gas volume, 1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at STP
  • Thus, we can determine the number of moles of a gas that occupy 7.30 L at STP.
  • Number of moles = Volume given ÷ Molar gas volume at STP

= 7.30 L ÷ 22.4 L

= 0.326 moles

Thus, the quantity of gas occupying 7.30 L at STP is 0.326 moles
