Question

What is the volume of 2.00 moles of chlorine (`Cl_2`) at STP, to the nearest tenth of a liter?

Answer 1

`44.8` litres

Explanation:

At STP, the molar volume of all gases is `22.4dm^3//mol`.

Hence `2mol` of `Cl_2` at STP occupies a volume of `44.8dm^3`.

To convert this to litres, we use conversion factors :

`1L=1000cm^3=1dm^3`

Hence `44.8dm^3=44.8L`
