The volume occupied by 4.4g of CO2 at STP is?

Correct answer: A. 2.24 dm3

  • A. 2.24 dm3
  • B. 112 cm3
  • C. 22.4 dm3
  • D. 1.12 dm3

Explanation

At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 dm3. The molar mass of CO2 is 44g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles in 4.4g of CO2 is 4.4g / 44g/mol = 0.1 moles. The volume occupied by 0.1 moles of CO2 is 0.1 x 22.4 dm3 = 2.24 dm3.The other options are incorrect because they either underestimate or overestimate the volume based on incorrect calculations or misconceptions about molar volume.
