Answer and see the solution →Answer the questions about gases at room temperature and pressure (rtp).
(a)[1 mark]State the volume occupied by 1 mole of any gas at rtp in dm³.
(b)[1 mark]State the volume occupied by 1 mole of any gas at rtp in cm³.
(c)[2 marks]Is the volume occupied by 1 mole of a gas at rtp the same for all gases? Give a reason for your answer.
Question 3

Question 6
2 marks · Normal
Answer and see the solution →You measured a gas volume as 500 cm³. Convert it into dm³ and explain how you did the conversion.
Question 7
4 marks · Normal
Answer and see the solution →Answer the following questions about the volume of gases at rtp.
(a)[1 mark]What is meant by the term 'molar volume'?
(b)[1 mark]State the molar volume at room temperature and pressure in dm³ and in cm³.
(c)[2 marks]A student says the molar volume of oxygen is different from that of carbon dioxide at rtp. Explain whether this statement is correct.
Question 8
3 marks · Normal
Answer and see the solution →A student wants to find out whether the volume given for a gas in a chemistry problem should be recorded in cm³ or dm³. They know that 1 dm³ is equal to 1000 cm³.
Explain which unit (cm³ or dm³) is more suitable for measuring the volume of a sample of air collected from a 3-litre container, and describe how to convert between these units.
