NUMBER OF MOLES AND VOLUME OF GAS

Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)

Temperature = 0 °C
pressure = 1 atm
molar volume = 22.4 dm3 mol-1

Room Temperature and Pressure (RTP)

Temperature = 25 °C
Molar volume ➔ volume of one mole of gas at RTP or STP pressure = 1 atm
in dm3 molar volume = 24 dm3 mol-1

Task 1: Calculate the number of moles of each of the following gases.

(a) 200 cm3 of CO2 at STP (b) 500 cm3 of NH3 at STP (c) 1000 cm3 of C2H4 at STP

(d) 234 cm3 of SO3 at RTP (e) 1800 cm3 of HCl at RTP (f) 2000 cm3 of H2 at RTP
Task 2: Calculate the volume of each of the following gases.

(a) 0.18 mol of F2 at STP (b) 2.03 mol of He at STP

(c) 0.055 of NO2 at RTP (d) 3.26×10-3 mol of CH4 at RTP
