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 0°C, Pressure 1 atmosfera or 101kPa ]
Room condition :
[temperature 25°C, 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 : 22.4dm3mol–1 at S.T.P.]

Volume of C2H4 gas = mol × molar volume of gas

= 0.2 × 22.4 dm3
= 4.48 dm3
