The volume occupied by 4.4 g of CO_(2) at S.T.P…………

Answer»

22.4 litre
2.24 litre
0.24 litre
0.1 litre

Solution :Hint : `"Molar volume of "CO_(2)="22.4 litre."`
The volume occupied by 1 mole i.e. 44 g (molar MASS) of `CO_(2)`.
44 g of `CO_(2)` occupied 22.4 litre of volume.
`therefore"4.4 g of "CO_(2)" will occupy"(22.4)/(44)xx4.4=(22.4)/(10)="2.24 litre."`
So, answer (B) is CORRECT.
