Question

If 11 grams of a gas occupies 5.6 liters at STP, what is its gram molecular mass?

Answer 1

The molecular mass of gas = 44 g/mol

Further explanation

Given

5.6 Liters of gas

11 gram of gas

Required

The molecular mass

Solution

STP = Standart Temperature and Pressure , 1 atm 273 K

At STP , 1 mol gas = 22.4 L

So mol of 5.6 Liters gas :

= 5.6 : 22.4

= 0.25 moles

The molecular mass of gas :

= mass : mol

= 11 g : 0.25 moles

= 44 g/mol
