Mole-Volume Relationships- Gases The volumes of one mole of different solid and liquid substances are not the same (water vs. glucose). One mole of glucose is much larger than 1 mole of water. Unlike liquids and solids, the volumes of moles of gases are much more predictable under the same physical conditions.
Mole-Volume Relationships- Gases The volume of a gas varies with a change in temperature or a change in pressure. Because of this variation, the volume of a gas is usually measured at a standard temperature and pressure (STP). Standard Temperature and Pressure: Temperature is 0°C kPa, or 1 atmosphere (atm) At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4L (equal to 11, 2-liter soda bottles full of liquid) 22.4 L is known as the molar volume of a gas and is measured at STP
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) Temperature is 0°C kPa, or 1 atmosphere (atm) At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4L (equal to 11 2-liter soda bottles full of liquid) 22.4 L is known as the molar volume of a gas and is measured at STP
Because 1 mol of any substance contains Advogadro’s number of particles, 22.4 L of any gas at STP contains x representative particles of that gas. Why do gases need to be at STP in order for this to hold true? How does temperature affect the volume of a gas? increase temperature: particles move faster and take up more space; decrease temperature: particles move slower and take up less space
How does pressure affect the volume of a gas? increased pressure pushes the particles closer together and decreases the volume, while decreased pressure allows the particles to spread out and increases the volume
