How many liters of water are in a tank with a volume of 4,500 cm3 1 L = 1,000 cm
04.0L
0 4.5 L
0 45 L
0 0.45 L

Another statement is, "Volume is directly proportional to the number of moles."

The volume increases as the number of moles increases. It does not depend on the sizes or the masses of the molecules.

V

∝

n

, where

V

is the volume, and

n

is the number of moles.

V

n

=

k

, where

k

is a proportionality constant.

We can rewrite this as

Equal volumes of hydrogen, oxygen, or carbon dioxide contain the same number of molecules.

STP is 0 °C and 1 bar.

One mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.71 L at STP. Thus, its molar volume at STP is 22.71 L

Example Problem

A 6.00 L sample at 25.0 °C and 2.00 atm contains 0.500 mol of gas. If we add 0.250 mol of gas at the same pressure and temperature, what is the final total volume of the gas?
