Moles and gas volumes. At the end of this section you should be able to calculate the amount of substance in moles, using gas volume. Avogadro’s hypothesis. Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. At room temperature and pressure (RTP):.

Moles and gas volumes At the end of this section you should be able to calculate the amount of substance in moles, using gas volume.
Avogadro’s hypothesis Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules
At room temperature and pressure (RTP): • One mole of gas molecules occupies approximately 24.0dm3 (24000cm3) • The volume per mole of gas molecules is 24.0 dm3 mol-1
To work out amount, in moles, in a solution, use the equations:n = V(in dm3) 24.0n = V(in dm3) 24000Hence, V= n x 24000cm3
Worked examples What amount, in mol, of gas molecules are in the following gas volumes at RTP? (i) 36 dm3 (ii) 250cm3
n = 36 24.0 = 1.5mol(ii)n = 250 24000 = 0.01mol
What is the volume of the following at RTP?(i) 2 mol SO2 (ii) 0.15 mol H2
V = 2 x 24000 cm3= 48000 cm3(ii) V = 0.15 x 24000 cm3= 3600cm3
What is the mass of the following at RTP?(i) 0.6 dm3 N2(ii) 1950 cm3 C2H4NB: mass = mole x molecular mass
Mole = 0.6 24.0= 0.025 molfrom, mass = mole x MM(N2) = 14 x 2 = 28mass = 0.025 x 28 = 0.7g
(ii) Mole = 1950 24000 = 0.0813molmass = mole x M M(C2H4) = (12 x 2) + 1x4 = 28hence, mass = 0.0813 x 28 = 2.275g
What is the volume of the following at RTP?(i) 1.282 g SO2 (ii) 2.5 g CO2NB: For this question, you need to calculate the moles and then follow it up with volume
Mole = mass/molecular massM(SO2) = 32 + 16x2 = 64mole = 1.282 / 64 = 0.02 molfrom, V = n x 24000 cm3 = 0.02 x 24000 = 480.75cm3
