Quantitative Chemistry
Use of amount of substance in relation to volumes of gases
- 3 things to know
- Paper 1
Overview
Why equal moles of any gas fill the same volume, the 24 dm³ molar volume at room temperature and pressure, converting between mass, moles and volume, and volumes of reacting gases from an equation.
What you need to know
Answer each one before you reveal it.

Key term
Why must the temperature and pressure be stated whenever the volume of a gas is quoted?
Key term
State the temperature and pressure meant by room temperature and pressure.
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is true about the volumes of equal amounts in moles of different gases kept at the same temperature and pressure?
Model answer
They occupy the same volume.
- 2
Which occupies the larger volume at the same temperature and pressure, 1 mol of hydrogen or 1 mol of carbon dioxide?
Model answer
Neither, because equal amounts in moles of any gases occupy the same volume under the same conditions.
- 3
Why must the temperature and pressure be stated whenever the volume of a gas is quoted?
Model answer
The volume occupied by a given amount of gas changes when the temperature or the pressure changes.
- 4
What volume does one mole of any gas occupy at room temperature and pressure?
Model answer
24 dm³.
- 5
State the temperature and pressure meant by room temperature and pressure.
Model answer
20 °C and 1 atmosphere pressure.
- 6
What must you know in order to work out the volume of a gas at room temperature and pressure from its mass?
Model answer
Its relative formula mass, so the mass can be turned into moles, and the fact that one mole occupies 24 dm³.
