  • Calculating Volume at STP: A Step-by-Step Guide
    To calculate the volume of the gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure), we can use the ideal gas law:

    PV = nRT

    where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature.

    At STP, the temperature is 0°C (273.15 K) and the pressure is 1 atm. We can rearrange the ideal gas law to solve for the volume at STP:

    V_STP = (P_STP × V) / (P × T)

    Substituting the given values:

    V_STP = (1 atm × 720.0 ml) / (3.00 atm × 293.15 K)

    V_STP = 240.0 ml

    Therefore, the volume of the gas at STP is 240.0 ml.
