Question

Determine the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.090 moles of gas at STP.

Answer 1

The volume of the gas in liters is 2.016 Liters

Explanation:

Given parameters

The mole of the given gas = 0.090 mole

Recall that, 22.4L is equivalent to 1 mole at S.T.P

Let x be the volume of the gas in Liters

`\begin{gathered} 22.4\text{ L }\rightarrow\text{ 1 mole} \\ x\text{ L }\rightarrow\text{ 0.090 mole} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 22.4\cdot\text{ 0.090 = 1 }\cdot\text{ x} \\ x\text{ = 22.4 }\cdot\text{ 0.090 } \\ x\text{ = 2.016 Liters} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the volume of the gas in liters is 2.016 Liters
