What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at stp?

The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

  Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).    After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1)  of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:

n = mass in grams / molar massAtomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/molNitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/moln = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:

22.4 liter / mol = x  / 0.500 molSolve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

Conclusion: the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.

The answer is letter c

Ithink is a because if say increased in electronegativity
