Question

What Size container do you need to hold 0.0459 mol of N2 gas at stp

Answer 1

Hello!

You need to calculate the volume of the container. To calculate the volume of this amount of N₂ gas we need to make the assumption that N₂ behaves like an ideal gas.

1 mole of an ideal gas under Standard Temperature and Pressure occupies 22,4 L so the calculations are as follows:


`0,0459 mol N_2* (22,4 L)/(1 mol N_2)= 1,028 L`

So, the volume of the container should be 1,028 L or more.

Have a nice day!
