Question

How many particles can be stored in a 4.0 L container at room temperature (23 C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa)?

6.1 moles
0.16 moles
2.1 moles
0.47 moles

Answer 1

Answer: 0.16 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

0.16 moles

Further explanation

There are 2 conditions that are usually used as a reference in chemical calculations (mainly for determining the volume per mole of gas or the molar volume), namely:

• 1. Standard Conditions

stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters/mol.

• 2 Room Condition

stated by RTP (Room Temperature and Pressure). Vm in this condition = 24.4 liters / mol

so for 4 L :

`\tt (4)/(24)=0.16~moles`
