  • Calculating Hydrogen Atoms: A Step-by-Step Guide at STP
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Understand STP

    STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure. It's defined as:

    * Temperature: 0°C (273.15 K)

    * Pressure: 1 atm

    2. Molar Volume at STP

    At STP, one mole of any ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters.

    3. Calculate Moles of H₂

    * You have 67.2 L of H₂.

    * Divide the volume by the molar volume at STP: 67.2 L / 22.4 L/mol = 3 moles of H₂

    4. Calculate Atoms of Hydrogen

    * One molecule of H₂ contains 2 hydrogen atoms.

    * You have 3 moles of H₂.

    * Use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol) to convert moles to atoms:

    3 moles H₂ * (2 atoms H / 1 molecule H₂) * (6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mol) = 3.61 x 10²⁴ atoms of hydrogen

    Therefore, there are 3.61 x 10²⁴ atoms of hydrogen in 67.2 L of H₂ at STP.
