Determain the number of moles in 2.24l of ch4 at stp

0.1 mole of CH₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of CH₄ = 2.24 L

Number of mole of CH₄ =?

The number of mole of CH₄ can be obtained as follow:

Recall:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at stp. This implies that 1 mole of CH₄ occupies 22.4 L at stp.

22.4 L = 1 mole of CH₄

Therefore,

2.24 L = 2.24 × 1 mole of CH₄ / 22.4

2.24 L = 0.1 mole of CH₄.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
