SUMMARY

1 mol of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), defined as 1 atm and 273 K. The conversion of 1 mol = 24 L applies specifically at room temperature, approximately 20°C or 293 K. This distinction is crucial for accurate calculations in chemistry, particularly when conditions deviate from STP. Understanding these conditions allows for proper application of gas laws in various scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ideal Gas Law
  • Knowledge of Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
  • Familiarity with temperature conversions (Kelvin to Celsius)
  • Basic chemistry concepts regarding moles and gas volumes
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Ideal Gas Law and its applications
  • Learn about gas behavior at different temperatures
  • Research the concept of STP in various scientific contexts
  • Explore real-world applications of gas laws in laboratory settings
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone preparing for exams involving gas laws and thermodynamics.

Homework Statement



When do you use 1 mol = 22.4 L and 1 mol = 24 L?

I have a test coming up and would like to clarify this.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I know that 1 mol = 22.4 L of any ideal gas at STP mean 1atm at (273K) I understand this. But what about 1 mol = 24 L. Would I use this as a conversion factor is STP or ideal gas is not mentioned? I found out that the 24 L in 1 mol is for room temperature. Can anyone check my information? Am I correct? If not not can you please explain thank you.

If 1mol is 22.4 L at 273K then it will be 24L at 273K * 24/22.4 = 293K = 20deg C = room temp
