6. At standard temperature and pressure 1 mole of any gas has a volume of 22.4 liters of gas. If the 5 grams of baking soda reacted at standard temperature and pressure, what volume of gas would be produced?

Stoichiometric Calculations Involving Ideal Gases at STP

Stoichiometric calculations involving gases allow us to convert between mass, number of moles, and most importantly, volume of gases. The following relationship makes this possible:

1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 atm) occupies a volume of 22.4 L.

While the above relationship is an estimation, it is a relatively good approximation at STP, and can be used reliably in calculations.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
