the volume, in liters, occupied by 60.0 g of Ar gas

Question

Use the molar volume to calculate each of the following at STP:

Answer 1

At STP (standard temperature and pressure) the molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.4 liters/mole. Using this information, it is easy to then find the volume (in liters) occupied by 60.0 g of Ar gas.

60.0 g Ar x 1 mol Ar/39.95 g = 1.5019 moles Ar

1.5019 moles Ar x 22.4 liters/mole = 33.6 liters (to 3 significant figures)
