What volume does 2 mol of H₂ gas occupy at STP? (molar volume 22.4 dm³/mol)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 44.8 dm³
- Step 1: At STP one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm³. Step 2. V = 2 × 22.4 = 44.8 dm³. Answer: 44.8 dm³. Why not the others: 4 dm³ is what you get if you use the molar mass instead of 22.4. 11.2 dm³ is what you get if you divide 22.4 by the moles. 48 dm³ is what you get if you use the room-temperature molar volume.
