They also are used for: 1  general anesthesia, 2  sedation prior to surgery or diagnostic procedures, 3  muscle relaxation,  alcohol withdrawal and drug associated 1  agitation, nausea and vomiting,  depression, 1  and. panic attacks.
Remember that 1 dm3 = 1 000 cm3 so the volume is also 12 000 cm3. The equation can be rearranged to find the number of moles, if the volume of gas at rtp is known: number of moles = volume of gas at rtp Ã· 24. Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen that occupy 6 dm3 at rtp. number of moles = 6 Ã· 24 = 0.25 mol.
The Size of Atoms. The size of atoms can be estimated with the use of Avogadro's number along with the atomic mass and bulk density of a solid material. From these, the volume per atom can be determined. The cube root of the volume is an estimate of the diameter of the atom. For carbon, the molar mass is exactly 12, and the density is about 2 gm/cm^3. The estimated volume is then. and the estimate of the carbon atomic diameter is the cube root of that. This estimate is a bit small. It can be refined somewhat by considering the atoms to be spheres and packing them in different ways.
