Question

At STP, exactly 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L. What size container (in Liters) do you need to hold 2.1mol O₂ gas at STP?(Show all work)A) 44.2B) 47.0C) 40.0D) 55.5

Answer 1

B) 47.0

Step-by-step explanation

If at STP, exactly 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L

Then, 2.1 moles of O₂ gas at STP will occupy x L container

To get x L, cross multiply and divide both sides by 1 mole.

`x\text{ }L\text{ }container=\frac{2.1\text{ }mol}{1\text{ }mol}*22.4\text{ }L=47.0\text{ }L`

Therefore, the size of the container (in Liters) needed to hold 2.1 mol O₂ gas at STP is 47.0 L
