Solution

Part one : Introduction to Standard temperature and pressure conditionsSTP

  • The ideal or standard conditions considered as reference for other conditions are Standard temperature and pressure conditionsSTP).
  • The Standard temperature and pressure conditions(STP) are T=273.15K P=1 atm
  • The gas constant will be equal to R=0.0821atm Lmol K

Part two: Calculation of molar volume at Standard temperature and pressure conditionsSTP

  • Consider ideal gas equation PV=RT
  • The molar volume is calculated from V=RTP
  • We obtain molar volume to be

V=RTPV=0.0821L atmmol K×273.15 K1 atmV=0.0821L mol K×273.15 KV=22.4L mol

Therefore , the molar volume is equal to 22.4 L/mol at Standard temperature and pressure conditionsSTP
