Answer:

The number of moles and mass of the sample of argon occupying 37.8L at STP​ are 1.6875 moles and 67.41 grams respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of STP 22.4 L are occupied by 1 mole of Ar, 37.8 L of Ar are occupied by how many moles?


amount of moles=(37.8 L* 1 mole)/(22.4 L)

amount of moles= 1.6875 moles

The atomic weight of Ar is 39.948 g/mol. So the mass of the sample of argon can be calculated as:

1.6875 moles* 39.948
(g)/(mol) = 67.41 grams

The number of moles and mass of the sample of argon occupying 37.8L at STP​ are 1.6875 moles and 67.41 grams respectively.
