Question

How many moles of CO2 are present in 14.6 L of CO2 gas at STP

Answer 1

0.65mole of CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of CO₂ = 14.6L

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that a mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4L at STP;

1 mole of gas occupies 22.4L of volume at STP;

y mole of CO₂ will occupy 14.6L of volume at STP

22.4y = 14.6

y =
`(14.6)/(22.4)` = 0.65mole of CO₂
