The volume of a perfect gas at NTP is
A. 22.4 litres
B. 2.24 litres
C. 100 litres
D. None of these
Solution
Hint: Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP) is a condition like a Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP). It uses temperature as 20∘C and pressure as 1 atm.
Complete step by step answer: NTP is an acronym of Normal Temperature and Pressure. To find the molar volume of a perfect gas, we can consider that unit conditions.
Pressure =1atm
Temperature =293K i.e. 20∘C
Consider the ideal gas equation,
PV=nRT
R can be written as
0.08205 atm.litre/mol.K= 8.314 J/mol.K
So that volume will be,
V=11×0.08205×293
V=24.04L
Hence the correct answer is none of these.
Additional information:
To make a unity for measurements, IUPAC declared some standard conditions. STP and NTP are also standards made by IUPAC.
We can calculate molar volume at Standard Temperature and Pressure.
For an ideal gas,
Pressure is considered as 1 bar. It is actually equal to 0.987 atm. Its approximately equal to 1 atm. The temperature should be 293 K.
Molar volume of ideal gas at STP will be,
V=1273×0.08205
V=22.3996≈22.4L
Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure (SATP) is also used in chemistry as a standard. It is actually a reference with temperature of 25oC and pressure of 101.325 kPa. At these conditions, volume of 1 mol of a gas will be 24.4651 L.
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) used as a standard for aircraft performance. It is constrained to 101.325 kPa, 15oC and 0% humidity.
Note: There are several types of standard conditions available. Even you can find different constraints for each standard. But IUPAC will define the correct standard. So, you should beware of that. According to IUPAC, 20oC of temperature and 1 atm are the conditions of NTP.
