The volume occupied by 1.4g of N2 at S.T.P is:

Correct answer: C. 1.12 dm3

  • A. 2.24 dm3
  • B. 22.4 dm3
  • C. 1.12 dm3
  • D. 112 dm3

Explanation

To determine the volume occupied by 1.4g of N2 at standard temperature and pressure (STP), we need to use the ideal gas law equation: PV = nRT Where: P = pressure (in atm) V = volume (in dm3) n = number of moles of gas R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 dm3.atm/mol.K) T = temperature (in Kelvin) At STP, the pressure (P) is 1 atm, and the temperature (T) is 273.15 K (0 degrees Celsius) Now, we need to calculate the number of moles of N2 .The molar mass of N2 (nitrogen gas) is: = 2 * molar mass of nitrogen (N) = 2 * 14.01 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol Number of moles of N2= Mass of N2 / Molar mass of N2 Number of moles of N2 = 1.4 g / 28.02 g/mol ≈ 0.05 mol Now, we can use the ideal gas law to find the volume (V) occupied by 0.05 moles of N2 at STP: V = nRT / P V = (0.05 mol) * (0.0821)* (273.15 K) / (1 atm) V ≈ 1.12 dm3

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
