67 L of N2 gas at STP is equivalent to 2.67 moles of N2 ga

Steps

To calculate the number of moles of N2 gas, we can use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where:

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the universal gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas in kelvin

Assuming standard temperature and pressure (STP), the pressure is 1 atmosphere and the temperature is 273 K. The volume of gas is 67 L.

So, we have:

PV = nRT

n = (PV) / (RT)

n = (1 atm) x (67 L) / ((0.0821 L·atm/mol·K) x (273 K))

n = 2.67 mol

Therefore, 67 L of N2 gas at STP is equivalent to 2.67 moles of N2 gas.
