How many moles of nitrogen gas, {eq}N_{2} {/eq}, are there in 33.6 L of nitrogen at STP?
Question:
How many moles of nitrogen gas, {eq}N_{2} {/eq}, are there in 33.6 L of nitrogen at STP?
STP:
STP refers to standard pressure (100 kPa) and temperature (273.15 K). The IUPAC currently defines 1 atm of pressure to be equivalent to 100 kPa of pressure. However, prior to 1982 it defined 1 atm to be 101.3 kPa. A few courses around the world have not adopted the modern definition, so you may need to refer to your course to ensure your calculations use the conditions they define STP as.
