Interpretation:
The terms “standard temperature” and “pressure” and the significance of STP with relation to the volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The standard form of an ideal gas equation is as follows:
Here,
The full form of STP is standard temperature and pressure.
The STP conditions are known as standard temperature and pressure conditions at which the temperature is measured as the absolute temperature, that is,
At STP, the temperature is
At STP, the pressure is

- perform stoichiometric ca1cu1uions for reactions involving gases as reactants or products.arrow_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardA 1.000-g sample of an unknown gas at 0C gives the following data: P(atm) V (L) 0.2500 3.1908 0.5000 1.5928 0.7500 1.0601 1.0000 0.7930 Use these data to calculate the value of the molar mass at each of the given pressures from the ideal gas law (we will call this the apparent molar mass at this pressure). Plot the apparent molar masses against pressure and extrapolate to find the molar mass at zero pressure. Because the ideal gas law is most accurate at low pressures, this extrapolation will give an accurate value for the molar mass. What is the accurate molar mass?arrow_forward
- In the text, it is stated that the pressure of 4.00 mol of Cl2 in a 4.00-L tank at 100.0 C should be 26.0 atm if calculated using the van der Waals equation. Verify this result, and compare it with the pressure predicted by the ideal gas law.arrow_forwardPressures of gases in mixtures are referred to as partial pressures and are additive. 1.00 L of He gas at 0.75 atm is mixed with 2.00 L of Ne gas at 1.5 atm at a temperature of 25.0 C to make a total volume of 3.00 L of a mixture. Assuming no temperature change and that He and Ne can be approximated as ideal gases, what are a the total resulting pressure, b the partial pressures of each component, and c the mole fractions of each gas in the mix?arrow_forwardWhat is the value of the ideal gas constant R if the volume is specified in milliliters rather than liters?arrow_forward
- Exhaled air contains 74.5% N2, 15.7% O2, 3.6% CO2, and 6.2% H2O (mole percent). (a) Calculate the molar mass of exhaled air. (b) Calculate the density of exhaled air at 37C and 757 mm Hg and compare the value you obtained with that of ordinary air (MM=29.0g/mol) under the same conditions.arrow_forwardUnder what conditions does the behavior of a real gas begin to differ significantly from the ideal gas law?arrow_forward
