Molar Volume of Gas, VM

Molar gas is defined as the volume

occupies by one mole of the gas.

At S.T.P condition: Molar Volume of a gas is 22.4 dm3
At Room condition: Molar Volume of a gas is 24 dm3

Molar Volume of a Gas

Note : 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 22.4 dm3 = 22 400 cm3 24 dm3 = 24 000 cm3
S.T.P. condition
[ temperature 0C, Pressure 1 atmosfera or 101kPa ] Room condition : [temperature 25C, Pressure 1 atmosfera atau 101kPa ]

Example of Calculation I
Calculate the volume of gas occupies by 0.2 mol of ethene gas , C2H4 at S.T.P.. [ molar volume of gas : 22.4dm3mol1 at S.T.P.]

Volume of C2H4 gas = mol molar volume of gas = 0.2 22.4 dm3 = 4.48 dm3

Example of Calculation II
A balloon contains 12.0cm3 of helium gas, He at room condition. How many moles of helium is in the balloon? [Molar Volume of gas : 24dm3mol1 at room condition]
