Answer:

0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Step-by-step explanation:

At stp, the values temperature, pressure and volume is given below:

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Temperature (T) = 273 K

Volume (V) = 22.4 L

At stp, 1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.

Number of mole (n) = 1 mole

Gas constant (R) =?

The ideal gas equation is given below:

PV = nRT.

With the above equation, the gas constant R can be obtained as follow:

1 atm x 22.4L = 1 mole x R x 273K

Divide both side by (1 mole x 273 K)

R = (1 atm x 22.4L) / (1 mole x 273 K)

R = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Therefore, the gas constant is 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
