How do you calculate the volume of 89.09 grams of chlorine gas at STP?

Answer 1

Well, you define #"STP"# first....I get approx. #30*L#

According to the site, #"STP"# specifies a temperature of #273.15*K#, and a pressure of #100*kPa#...

Thus, using the proper gas constant, we solve the Ideal Gas equation.

#V=(nRT)/P=((89.09*g)/(70.90*g*mol^-1)xx8.314*(L*kPa)/(K*mol)xx273.15*K)/(100*kPa)#
#-=??*L#
I got the gas constant from this from this site. Most chemists of my generation would habitually use #R=0.0821*(L*atm)/(K*mol)# but that ain't good enuff for IUPAC... Fortunately, the Gas constants, and the appropriate units, would appear as supplementary material in an examination.
Note that you must simply KNOW that chlorine is a bimolecular gas, i.e. #Cl_2#.. In fact most of the elemental gases, hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, certainly the ones with any chemistry, are bimolecular species...

Answer 2

To calculate the volume of 89.09 grams of chlorine gas at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), you can use the ideal gas law. First, convert the mass of chlorine gas to moles using the molar mass of chlorine. Then, use the ideal gas law equation (V = \frac{{nRT}}{{P}}), where (V) is the volume, (n) is the number of moles, (R) is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K), (T) is the temperature in Kelvin (273.15 K for STP), and (P) is the pressure (1 atm for STP).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
