1 mole of any gas @ STP occupies 22.4L. Your sample is 8.4L. How many moles is that?
2.66
One mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) is equal to 22.4 liters. To convert from liters to moles, simply multiply the given value (in liters) by the conversion factor (1 mol gas/22.4 L gas).
(8.4 L N2O × 1 mol N2O) / (22.4 L N2O) = 0.375 moles N2O
(8.4 L N2O × 1 mol N2O) / (22.4 L N2O) = 0.375 moles N2O
0.375 is the answer
