Other Conversions Volume and Heat!

As stated previously in one of the older blogs, volume at stp can be found using the conversion factor 22.4L/Mol!
Heat can be included as a separate term in chemical reactions. It's called enthalpy.

reactions that release heat are exothermic
reactions that absorb heat are endothermic!

Heres an example!

If 3.0 Grams of Aluminum Oxide decomposes, what volume of oxygen is produced?
So first, write down what you're solving for, cancel units then convert to moles. Once you have your moles, write down what you have over what you need, then convert into liters using STP. You should get your answer then!
