Question

2.4 dm3

The volume is calculated using the formula: volume = (mass / Mr) x 24. Here, mass = 10 g and Mr = 32 g/mol, giving 10/32 * 24 = 2.4 dm3.

Incorrect Volume Calculation

Students often forget to convert the mass of the gas into moles before calculating the volume, leading to incorrect results.

Always use the formula to convert mass to moles first, then apply the gas volume formula at room temperature and pressure.
