We use the conversion factor of 1 mole/22.4 L to convert from volume to moles at standard temperature and pressure (STP). This is because at STP, one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L of volume. Therefore, we divide the given volume of 1.4 L by 22.4 L/mol to obtain the number of moles of gas in the balloon.
