What is the volume of 13.21 g of ethane gas (C2H6) at STP?

The volume at STP : 9.856 L

Given

Mass of ethane : 13.21 g

Required

The volume at STP

Solution

Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters / mol.

mol ethane(C2H6) :

= mass : molar mass

= 13.21 g : 30 g/mol

= 0.44

Volume at STP :

= 0.44 x 22.4 L

= 9.856 L

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
