SUMMARY

One mole of any gas occupies the same volume under standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions, specifically 22.4 liters. This phenomenon is explained by the Ideal Gas Law, which states that gases behave similarly when they are in ideal conditions. The discussion emphasizes that this principle applies to gases that can be approximated as ideal gases, highlighting the significance of temperature and pressure in determining gas behavior.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law
  • Familiarity with standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions
  • Basic knowledge of molar volume concepts
  • Concept of ideal gases and their properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Ideal Gas Law and its applications in chemistry
  • Explore deviations from ideal gas behavior in real gases
  • Study the concept of molar volume in different conditions
  • Investigate the effects of temperature and pressure on gas volume
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding gas laws and their applications in scientific contexts.

Okay, I have searched the internet for why one mole of any gas occupies the same volume, and found the internet devoid of any explanation that will suffice in my understanding. Can someone please help me

Thank you

I assume http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume" did not meet with your satisfaction?

More precisely: all gases that can be approximated as ideal gas occupy the same volume.
