The accepted value of the number of Liters of gas in a mole is 22.4. List two possible reasons on why our experiment yielded a different value for the number of Liters in a mole of a gas. Hint: Our experiment was conducted in July, in St. Paul, Minnesota.

- Pressure in St. Paul, Minnesota

- Temperature in St. Paul, Minnesota

Explanation:

22.4 L or dm³ is the volume for a gas under Standard pressure and temperature conditions.

It is logically to say, that tempereature value at the day of the experiment was not 273.15 K, which is 32°F

We can say, that the pressure was not 1 atm. St Paul Minnesota has  a minimum, but a little height, so the pressure differs by few figures from the standard pressure values.

We also have to mention, that 22.4 L is the value for the Ideal gases at standards conditions. Ideal gases does not exisist on practice, we always talk about real gases. Don't forget the Ideal Gases Law equation:

P . V = n . R . T

Pressure . Volume = number of moles . 0.082 L.atm /mol. K  . 273.15K

Number of moles must be 1 at STP, to determine a volume of 22.4L

the answer is option a.
