Question 51(a-ii)

The vapour density of a gas is 8. What would be the volume occupied by 24.0 g of the gas at STP?

Answer

Given, V.D. = 8

Gram molecular mass = V.D. x 2 = 8 x 2 = 16 g.

16 g occupies 22.4 lit.

∴ 24 g. will occupy = 22.416\dfrac{22.4}{16} x 24 = 33.6 lit.

Hence, volume occupied by gas = 33.6 lit.
