What is the mass in grams of 14.2 liters of sulfur dioxide gas at STP?

Mass = 40.4 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass in gram = ?

Volume of SO₂ = 14.2 L

Temperature = standard = 273 K

Pressure =  standard = 1 atm

Solution:

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

1 atm × 14.2 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 273 K

14.2 atm.L = n ×  22.41 atm.L/ mol

n = 14.2 atm.L/22.41 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.63 mol

Mass of sulfur dioxide:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.63 mol × 64.1 g/mol

Mass = 40.4 g
