Molar volume of any gas at STP is 22.4 L. [Prove it]

Volume of one mole of any gas (a substance) is called molar volume.

mass of 1L of any gas at STP
We know, d= - (i)
mass of 1L of hydrogen gas at STP

It was experimentally found that mass of 1L of hydrogen gas at STP was 0.089g.
M mass of 1L of any gas at STP M
(i)     ∵ d =
2 0.089g 2

M
ass of 1l of any gas at STP = ⨯ 0.089g
2
M
Volume of /2 ⨯ 0.089g of any gas at STP = 1L
M
Volume of Mg of any gas at STP = M
⨯ 0.089
2
2
= = 22.4 L.
0.089

Q. The mass of 11.2L of a gas is 16g at STP what is its molecular mass?

Soln: The mass 11.2 L of gas at STP = 16g

16 ⨯ 22.4
The mass 22.4 L of gas at STP = = 32g/mol
11.2
