Question

The volume (in L) that would be occupied by 5.00 mol of O2 at STP is

A. 0.411 L.
B. 22.4 L.
C. 41.6 L.
D. 112 L.

Answer 1

At STP, temperature is 273.15 K and the pressure is at 1 atm. The volume occupied by the system given above can be calculated by using the ideals gas equation assuming that O2 is an ideal gas.

PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
V = 5.00 mol (0.08206 L atm / mol K ) (273.15) / 1 atm
V = 112 L

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
