Question:

Arrange the following in increasing order of the volume (in L) occupied by them at STP (i) 1.5 moles of \(CO_2\)
(ii) 14 g of \(N_2\)
(iii) \(10^{21}\) molecules of oxygen

Show Hint

At STP, just compare moles — volume directly follows.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: At STP, volume \( \propto \) number of moles: \[ 1 \text{ mole} = 22.4 \, \text{L} \]

Step 1:
Calculate moles.
(i) \(1.5\) mol
(ii) \( \frac{14}{28} = 0.5 \) mol
(iii) \( \frac{10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx \frac{1}{602} \approx 0.00166 \) mol

Step 2:
Compare volumes.
\[ 0.00166<0.5<1.5 \]

Step 3:
Final order.
\[ (iii)<(ii)<(i) \]
