Volume of 1 Mole Gas at 1atm, 273.15K

In summary, the volume of 1 mole gas at 1atm and 273.15K is approximately 22.4 liters. 1atm and 273.15K are commonly used as standard conditions for measuring gas volume because they represent typical atmospheric pressure and room temperature. According to the ideal gas law, increasing the temperature or pressure of a gas will result in an increase in volume, while decreasing the temperature or pressure will result in a decrease in volume. However, this relationship may not hold true for real gases at high pressures or low temperatures. The molar volume of a gas at STP is only applicable to ideal gases, as real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures or low temperatures. To calculate the

What volume does 1 mole of gas occupy at 1 atm pressure and 273.15K?

PV = nRT so V =nRT/P

V = (1)(8.314)(273.15)/1

Im getting 2270.96, the answer is ment to be 22.4L, what am i doing wrong?

P= 1
V= ?
n= 1
R= 8314
T= 273.15K

You need to use a consistent set of units. Atm and L are not SI units. The SI units for pressure are Pascals (Pa), and for volume m^3. Look these up.

1. What is the volume of 1 mole gas at 1atm and 273.15K?

The volume of 1 mole gas at 1atm (atmosphere) and 273.15K (Kelvin) is approximately 22.4 liters. This is known as the molar volume of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

2. Why is 1atm and 273.15K used as standard conditions for measuring gas volume?

1atm and 273.15K are commonly used as standard conditions for measuring gas volume because they represent typical atmospheric pressure and room temperature. This allows for easier comparison and calculation of gas volumes in different experiments.

3. How does changing the temperature or pressure affect the volume of 1 mole gas at 1atm and 273.15K?

According to the ideal gas law, increasing the temperature or pressure of a gas will result in an increase in volume. Similarly, decreasing the temperature or pressure will result in a decrease in volume. However, this relationship may not hold true for real gases at high pressures or low temperatures.

4. Can the molar volume of a gas at STP be used for all gases?

No, the molar volume of a gas at STP is only applicable to ideal gases. Real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures or low temperatures, so their volumes may differ from the ideal molar volume at STP.

5. How do you calculate the volume of a gas at different temperatures and pressures?

To calculate the volume of a gas at different temperatures and pressures, you can use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. This equation can also be rearranged to solve for any of the variables, depending on the given information.
