Question

One mole of any gas at 298 K and 1 atm occupies a volume of 22.4 L.

True or False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation: Just took the test

Answer 2

Answer:- False.

Explanations:- One mole of any gas at STP occupies 1 volume of 22.4 L.

STP means standard temperature and pressure. Standard temperature is 273 K and standard pressure is 1 atm.

Here, in the statement the given temperature is 298 K which is not the standard temperature and so the volume of 1 mole of the gas will not be 22.4 L.

The volume could be calculated using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

`V=(nRT)/(P)`

R is the universal gas constant and it's value is
`(0.0821atm.L)/(mol.K)` .

let's plug in the values and calculate the volume for 1 mole of the gas:

`V=(1mol*(0.0821atm.L)/(mol.K)298K)/(1atm)`

V = 24.5 L

The volume for 1 mol of the gas at 298 K and 1 atm is 24.5 L and hence the statement is false.
