  • Volume of Chlorine Gas: Calculation & STP Conditions
    To calculate the volume occupied by 2.4 moles of chlorine gas, we can use the ideal gas equation:

    ```

    PV = nRT

    ```

    where:

    * P is the pressure (in atmospheres)

    * V is the volume (in liters)

    * n is the number of moles

    * R is the ideal gas constant (0.08206 L * atm / mol * K)

    * T is the temperature (in Kelvin)

    Assuming standard temperature and pressure (STP), which are 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm, we can calculate the volume occupied by 2.4 moles of chlorine gas:

    ```

    V = nRT/P

    = 2.4 moles * 0.08206 L * atm / mol * K * 273.15 K / 1 atm

    = 55.12 L

    ```

    Therefore, 2.4 moles of chlorine gas occupy a volume of approximately 55.12 liters at STP.
