Use of amount of substance in relation to volumes of gases (chemistry only) (HT only)
Question
- A. 12 dm3
- B. Wrong ratio reasoning: confuses chemistry only with a nearby Unit 4.3 idea
- C. Wrong unit check: uses the wrong unit for Gas volumes and amount of substance
- D. Wrong calculation link: does not support (chemistry only) (HT only) Calculate amount in moles from gas volume at room temperature and pressure
Answer
The correct option is 12 dm3. The calculated answer is 12 dm3.
Explanation
The correct option is 12 dm3. This uses Gas Volume at Room Temperature and Pressure because the objective is about (chemistry only) (HT only) Calculate amount in moles from gas volume at room temperature and pressure. This ratio reasoning variant asks students to separate chemistry only from similar Unit 4.3 calculation steps. The reasoning belongs to Gas volumes and amount of substance within Use of amount of substance in relation to volumes of gases (chemistry only) (HT only), so it should not be confused with nearby quantitative ideas such as mass, moles, concentration, yield, atom economy, or gas volume unless those are named in the objective. Use the focus term chemistry only to keep the answer aligned with AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.3. The other options are weaker because they either use the wrong formula, the wrong unit, a vague relationship, or the wrong quantitative context.
Common mistake
Confusing Volume and Moles
Students often confuse the volume of a gas with the amount in moles, forgetting that they need to use the relationship that 1 mole of gas occupies 24 dm3 at room temperature and pressure.
To fix this, remember to use the formula: moles = volume / 24 dm3 when calculating the amount in moles from gas volume.
