Title: finding volume of dry nitrogen at stp
Post by: Subi08 on Apr 8, 2015

If 77.0 mL of nitrogen gas is collected over water at 50 °C and 763 mm Hg, what is the volume of dry nitrogen gas at STP? The vapor pressure of water at 50 °C is 92.5mm Hg.

Hi Subi,

What have you done so far?

I might be able to help if you show some work! :)

Using the Ideal Gas Law, you would find the volume of 1 mole of a gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP).

STP = 1 atm of pressure and 273 K for temperature

P = 1 atm
V = ???
n = 1 mole
R = 0.0821 atm L/mol K
K = 273 K

PV=nRT

^^ Not sure if that answers the question. The question has been answered here: [Solved] If 77.0 mL of nitrogen gas is collected over water at 50 °C and 763 mm Hg, what  (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?topic=178492.0)

But I warn you, no steps are given, just the correct answer.
