To find the volume occupied by 11.0 grams of a gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure), we can use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

At STP, the pressure is 1 atm, the temperature is 273 K, and the ideal gas constant is 8.31 J/mol*K. We can therefore use the following equation to find the volume occupied by 11.0 grams of the gas:

V = (nRT)/P

To find the number of moles of gas, we can use the following formula:

n = m/M

Where m is the mass of the gas in grams and M is the molecular mass of the gas in grams/mol.

Substituting the given values into this formula, we find that the number of moles of gas is:

n = 11.0 g / 44.0 g/mol

= 0.25 mol

We can now substitute this value into the ideal gas law equation to find the volume occupied by the gas at STP:

V = (0.25 mol)(8.31 J/mol*K)(273 K)/(1 atm)

= 6.53 liters

Rounding this value to the nearest tenth of a liter, we find that the volume occupied by 11.0 grams of the gas at STP is approximately 6.5 liters
