Which of the following samples will have the greatest volume at STP?

a. 22 g Ne

b. 22 g He

c. 22 g O2

d. 22 g Cl2

e. All have the same V at STP

Option b. 22 g of He will have the greatest volume at STP

Explanation:

In order to determine the volume, we apply the Ideal Gases Law equation:

P . V = n . R . T

V = n . R . T / P

R, T and P are the same in all the situation we must define n (number of moles).

The one that has the greatest number of moles will have the greatest volume at STP

22 g of Ne . 1mol / 20.1 g = 1.09 moles of Ne

22g of He . 1mol / 4 g = 5.5 moles of He

22 g of O₂ . 1mol / 32g = 0.68 moles of O₂

22 g of Cl₂ . 1mol / 70.9 g = 0.31 moles of Cl₂

just did the assignment and the answer was #1 +2 n

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
