9.3 mol SO3 -> liters

Answer 1

Answer: 9.3 mol of SO3 at STP occupies 20.2 liters.

Explanation: To convert from moles of a gas to liters, we need to use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where:

P = pressure in atm

V = volume in liters

n = number of moles

R = gas constant (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K)

T = temperature in Kelvin

We can rearrange this equation to solve for V:

V = (nRT)/P

First, let's calculate the volume of 9.3 mol of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP). STP is defined as 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm.

V = (9.3 mol * 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K * 273.15 K) / 1 atm

V = 20.2 L

Therefore, 9.3 mol of SO3 at STP occupies 20.2 liters.

Note that this assumes SO3 is an ideal gas, which may not be the case in reality.
