please answer the following questions by typing, thanks.

1. How different is the measured volume from the volume if it had been obtained under STP conditions? Is the difference greater than an assumed measurement error of 5%? If not, why should we go to all this trouble to make this calculation?

2. All gases should have the same standard volume of 22.4141 L. If your value is different, then comment on the sources of error in the experiment.

3. What is the volume occupied by 11 moles of oxygen gas at STP?

4. What is the mass in grams of 10.0 L of methane (CH4) gas at STP?

Light from three different lasers (A, B, and C), each with a different wavelength, was shined on the same metal surface. Laser A produced no photoelectrons. Lasers B and C both produced photoelectrons, but those produced by B had a greater velocity than those produced by C. Arrange the lasers in order of increasing wavelength.

If A didn't produce any photoelectrons, Wouldn't it just be a straight line with the highest frequency? And to have a greater velocity would that mean the wavelength increases frequency?
