Avogadro's Law: Volume and MolesAvogadro’s LawAvogadro’s Law states that

The volume of a gas is directly related to the number of moles (n) of gas.

T and P are constant.

If 0.75 mole0.75 mole helium gas occupies a volume of 1.5 L, what volume will 1.2 moles helium occupy at the same temperature and pressure?

1) 0.94 L

2) 1.8 L

3) 2.4 L

STEP 1 Conditions 1Conditions 1 Conditions 2Conditions 2 V1 = 1.5 L V2 = ??? n1 = 0.75 mole He n2 = 1.2 moles He

STEP 2 Solve for unknown V2

V2 = V1 x n2

Molar Volume as a Conversion Factor

The molar volume at STP can be used to form conversion factors.

Using Molar Volume

What is the volume occupied by 2.75 moles N2 gas

at STP?

The molar volume is used to convert moles to liters.

2.75 moles N2 x 22.4 L = 61.6 L61.6 L

Gases in Chemical Reactions

The volume or amount of a gas at STP in a chemical reaction can be calculated from

STP conditions. Mole factors from the balanced equation.
