  • Gas Molarity Calculation: Solving for Moles at STP
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure): This refers to a temperature of 0°C (273.15 K) and a pressure of 1 atmosphere.

    * Molar Volume: At STP, one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.

    Calculations

    1. Moles in 224 liters:

    * Since 22.4 liters is equal to 1 mole, then 224 liters contains 224 / 22.4 = 10 moles.

    2. Moles in 560 liters:

    * If 22.4 liters contain 1 mole, then 560 liters contain 560 / 22.4 = 25 moles.

    Therefore, there are 25 moles of gas in a balloon containing 560 liters at STP.
