SUMMARY
Gases occupy different volumes in a eudiometry tube due to their individual properties and behaviors under standard temperature and pressure (STP). When mixing gases, such as 1 L of oxygen and 1 L of nitrogen, the total volume of the mixture is the sum of the individual volumes, resulting in 2 L. This phenomenon is explained by Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, which states that each gas in a mixture exerts its own pressure independently. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate calculations in eudiometry.
