Molecular mass of a substance at NTP?

In summary, NTP refers to Normal Temperature and Pressure, which is commonly used to define standard conditions for temperature and pressure in chemical and physical processes. The molecular mass of a substance can be calculated if the volume of 5.6L is occupied by 1g of the substance when vaporized at NTP. The options for the molecular mass are M, 3M, 2M, and 4M.

M g of a substance when vapourised occupy a volume of 5.6L at NTP, molecular mass of the substance will be?

Here, what does the NTP refer to [normal temperature pressure?]
options are
M, 3M, 2M, 4M

i guess so

STP - Standard Temperature and Pressure
STP is commonly used to define standard conditions for temperature and pressure which is important for the measurements and documentation of chemical and physical processes:

  • STP - Standard Temperature and Pressure - is defined by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) as air at 0°C (273.15 K, 32°F) and 105 pascals
  • STP - commonly used in the Imperial and USA system of units - as air at 60°F (520 °R) and 14.696 psia (15.6°C, 1 atm)
Note that the earlier IUAPC definition of STP to 273.15 K and 1 atm (1.01325 105 Pa) is discontinued.

1 Pa = 10-6 N/mm2 = 10-5 bar = 0.1020 kp/m2 = 1.02x10-4 m H2O = 9.869x10-6 atm = 1.45x10-4 psi (lbf/in2)

NTP - Normal Temperature and Pressure
NTP is commonly used as a standard condition for testing and documentation of fan capacities:

  • NTP - Normal Temperature and Pressure - is defined as air at 20°C (293.15 K, 68°F) and 1 atm (101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kPa, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 29.92 in Hg, 760 torr). Density 1.204 kg/m3 (0.075 pounds per cubic foot)
SATP - Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure
SATP - Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure is also used in chemistry as a reference:

  • SATP - Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure is a reference with temperature of 25°C (298.15 K) and pressure of 101 kPa.
 

Related to Molecular mass of a substance at NTP?

1. What is the definition of molecular mass?

The molecular mass of a substance is the total mass of all the atoms in a single molecule of that substance.

2. How is molecular mass measured?

Molecular mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu) using a mass spectrometer.

3. What is the significance of NTP in relation to molecular mass?

NTP stands for "normal temperature and pressure," which is a set of standard conditions used to measure the physical properties of a substance, including its molecular mass.

4. How does the molecular mass of a substance at NTP differ from its molecular mass at other conditions?

The molecular mass of a substance at NTP is a specific measurement at a defined set of conditions. The molecular mass may differ at different temperatures and pressures due to changes in the physical state of the substance.

5. Can the molecular mass of a substance at NTP change?

The molecular mass of a substance at NTP is a constant value for that specific substance. However, if the substance undergoes a chemical reaction or changes state, its molecular mass may change.
