The number of mole of nitrogen gas in the 16.8 L container is 0.75 mole
Data obtained from the question
Volume (V) = 16.8 L
Pressure (P) = STP = 1 atm
Temperature (T) = STP = 273 K
Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
Number of mole (n) =?
How to determine the number of mole
The number of mole of the nitrogen gas can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as illustrated below:
PV = nRT
Divide both side by RT
n = PV / RT
n = (1 × 16.8) / (0.0821 × 273)
n = 0.75 mole
Thus, the number of mole of the gas present is 0.75 mole
