  3. C. 17.1 dm3
  4. D. 24.0 dm3

Answer

17.1 dm3

Explanation

Using the formula: volume = (mass / Mr) x 24, we calculate moles = 20 g / 28 g/mol, resulting in a volume of 17.1 dm3.

Common mistake

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.
