The volume occupied by 17g of H2S at s.t.p. is [H=1.00, S=32.0, Molar volume = 22.4 dm³]

  • A. A. 11.2dm³Correct
  • B. B. 17.0dm³
  • C. C. 34.0dm³
  • D. D. 44.8dm³

Explanation

Molar mass of H2S = (1x2)+32 = 34 gmol⁻¹. Mole of H2S = 17g/34gmol⁻¹ = 0.5 mol. Volume = mole x GMV = 0.5 x 22.4 = 11.2 dm³.
