Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

How many moles are in 5.6 liters of an ideal gas at STP?
  • Step 1: Understand that STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure, where 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.
  • Step 2: Identify the volume of the gas you have, which is 5.6 liters.
  • Step 3: Use the formula to find the number of moles: Number of moles = Volume of gas (L) / Volume of 1 mole of gas at STP (L/mole).
  • Step 4: Plug in the values: Number of moles = 5.6 L / 22.4 L/mole.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 5.6 divided by 22.4 equals 0.25 moles.
  • Ideal Gas Law – Understanding the relationship between volume, moles, and conditions of temperature and pressure for gases.
  • Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) – Recognizing that at STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.
