Chapter 11.8, Problem 11.8.1SR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ gas at STP has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

STP in chemistry is the short form for Standard Temperature and Pressure.  STP most usually is used when performing arts calculations on gases.  The normal temperature is $\text{273 K }\left(\text{0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit}\right)$ and the standard pressure is $\text{1 atm}$ pressure. This is the freezing point of pure water at sea level atmospheric pressure.

To determine: The volume of ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ gas at STP
