Question #c4606

1 Answer

"24 L"

Explanation:

NIST uses a temperature of 20^@"C" ("293.15 K", 68^@"F") and an absolute pressure of "1 atm" ("14.696 psi", "101.325 kPa"). This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP).

Normal Temperature and Pressure

"T = 293.15K"
P = 1 atm

so

The only difference between STP and NTP is that NTP conditions are at 20^@"C" = "293.15 K", rather than at 0^@"C" = "273.15 K".

Since only the temperature is different, use Charle's Law:

V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2

We have:

V_1 = 22.41 L

T_1 = 273.15 K

V_2 = ? larr "This is the volume of 1 mol of a gas at NTP "

T_2 = 293.15 K.

Plugging our information into Charle's Law:

V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2

=> (22.41 L)/(273.15 K) = V_2/(293.15 K)

=> V_2 = (22.41 L)(293.15 K)/(273.15 K) = 24.05 L

"Therefore, 1 mol of any gas will occupy about 24 L at NTP."

Hope this helped
