How do you calculate the volume of 25.0 g of carbon monoxide at STP?
1 Answer
The volume is 20.3 L.
Explanation:
We can convert the mass of carbon monoxide to moles and then use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume at STP.
Moles of
Volume at STP
The Ideal Gas Law is:
color(blue)(|bar(ul(PV = nRT)|) ,
where
P is the pressureV is the volumen is the number of molesR is the gas constantT is the temperature
We can rearrange the Ideal Gas Law to get
V = (nRT)/P
STP is 1 bar and 0 °C.
