Question

Calculating product quantities:

The total size of the container would need to be able to hold:

a) N moles of gas
b) 2N moles of gas
c) 3N moles of gas
d) 4N moles of gas

Answer 1

The total size of the container needed depends on the number of moles of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total size of the container needed to hold:

1. N moles of gas: The container size will depend on the specific gas and its volume at STP. For example, 1 cm³ of gas at STP contains 2.68 × 10¹⁹ molecules, so you would need a larger container for a larger amount of moles.
2. 2N moles of gas: The container size needed would be twice as large as for N moles of gas.
3. 3N moles of gas: The container size needed would be three times as large as for N moles of gas.
4. 4N moles of gas: The container size needed would be four times as large as for N moles of gas.
