STP – STANDARD TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE - O°C and 1atm

At STP, 1 mole of any gas takes up to 22.4L of volume ( 1 mole = 22.4L )

Sample problem.

1.What is the volume in liters of 3.80 moles of CO gas at STP?

SOLUTION

3.80 x 22.4=

CONVERSION FACTOR

3.80 MOLES x

2. How many moles are in 58.6 L of Nitrogen gas (N ) at STP?

SOLUTION

58.6 _ 22.4 =

CONVERSION FACTORS

58.6L x

SUPER COMMON MISTAKE 1

[ 25°C and 2 atm is no STP ]

[ 1 mole = 22.4L only works at STP ]

Ideal Gas Law : PV=nRT
(The Ideal Gas Law works when you’re not at STP)
3. What is the volume in liters of 10.3 moles of Oxygen (O ) gas at 25 atm of pressure?

SOLUTION

10.3 X 22.4 =

CONVERSION FACTOR
10.3 moles x

SUPER COMMON MISTAKE 2

[ 1 mole = 22.4L only works with gases]
( ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR’E WORKING WITH A GAS AT STP, NOT A
LIQUID OR A SOLID )
4.How many moles are in 29.4 L of Liquid ethanol (C H O) at STP?

5. What volume would 0.735 moles of 0 gas occupy at 1 atm of pressure and 0°C ?

SOLUTION

0.735 x 22.4

CONVERSION FACTOR

0.735 x

6. 13.0 liters of gas ( Cl )at STP contains how many moles ?\

SOLUTION

13.O 22.4

CONVERSION FACTOR

SOLUTION

13.0 x
