How Much Gas is in 1 Mole?

Verified Answer

1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure (STP: 0°C and 1 atm).

Molar Volume:

  • At STP: 1 mole gas = 22.4 L
  • Universal: Same for all ideal gases
  • Basis: Ideal gas law (PV = nRT)

STP Conditions:

  • Temperature: 0°C (273.15 K)
  • Pressure: 1 atmosphere (101.325 kPa)

At Different Conditions:

  • Use ideal gas law: PV = nRT
  • V = nRT/P
  • Example at 25°C, 1 atm: ~24.5 L per mole

Applications:

  • Gas stoichiometry calculations
  • Reaction yield predictions
  • Industrial gas measurements

Importants Points:

  • At STP: 1 mole = 22.4 L
  • All gases: Same molar volume at STP
  • Other conditions: Use PV = nRT
