How many grams of CH4 will be in a 500ml contain at STP?

Mass = 0.32 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CH₄ = ?

Volume of CH₄ = 500 mL (500 mL× 1L/1000 mL= 0.5 L)

Temperature = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

Volume of CH₄:

500 mL (500 mL× 1L/1000 mL= 0.5 L)

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

By putting values,

1 atm× 0.5 L = n×0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 273 K

0.5 atm.L = n×22.4 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.5 atm.L / 22.4 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.02 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.02 mol × 16 g/mol

Mass = 0.32 g

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
