Question

At STP (101.3 kPa, 0 °C), what volume would 2.00 moles of oxygen gas occupy? The gas constant is 8.31

Answer 1

44.8 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideal Gas Equation -

i.e.,

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = moles

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature

Using the information given in the question, Volume of the gas can be calculated -

P = 101.3 kPa

V = ?

n = 2.00 moles

R = 8.31

T = 0 degree C = 273.15 K

Using the above data, and putting the data in the respective formula -

PV = nRT

101.3 kPa * V = 2.00 moles * 8.31 * 273.15 K

V = 44.8 L

Hence, the volume of the given gas = 44.8 L
