Question

What is the volume of a 0.50 mole of gas at STP if it behaves ideally?

Answer 1

`V=11.2L`

Explanation:

STP is standard temperature and pressure which is 273 K and 1 atm. (Not to be confused with standard thermodynamic conditions: 298 K and 1 atm)

Ideal gas law states when solving for Volume:
`V=(nRT)/P`

`V= ((0.5 "mol")(0.082 "Latm mol"^(-1)"K"^(-1))(273 "K"))/(1 "atm")=`

`V=11.2L`
