Question

How many moles of air are in a 6.06-L tire at STP?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of moles of air is 0.27

Explanation:

STP stands for standard temperature pressure.

At STP one mole of a compound occupies 22.4 litres, that is 1 mole is present in 22.4 litres of the compound, in this case we are asked to find the number of moles in 6.06 L at STP , which can be found out by dividing the given litres that is 6.06 with that of standard one that is 22.4 litres.

No of moles of air at STP = Given litres at STP÷Standard litre at STP

                                          =6.06÷22.4

                                          =0.27moles

Number of moles of air is 0.27
