Answer:
2.24dm³
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of He = 40g
Unknown:
Volume of Helium = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we convert the given mass to number of moles.
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]
molar mass of He = 4g/mol
Number of moles = [tex]\frac{4}{40}[/tex] = 0.1mole
So;
1 mole of gas at rtp occupies a volume of 22.4dm³
0.1 mole of He will occupy a volume of 0.1 x 22.4 = 2.24dm³
