Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 复习笔记 1.5.10 Calculate Volumes of Gases

Avogadro's Law

• Avogadro’s Law states that at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal amounts of gases occupy the same volume of space
• At room temperature and pressure, the volume occupied by one mole of any gas was found to be 24 dm³ or 24,000 cm³
• This is known as the molar gas volume at RTP
• RTP stands for “room temperature and pressure” and the conditions are 20 ºC and 1 atmosphere (atm)
• From the molar gas volume the following formula triangle can be derived:

Formula triangle showing the relationship between moles of gas, volume in dm³ and the molar volume

• If the volume is given in cm³ instead of dm³, then divide by 24,000 instead of 24:

• The formula can be used to calculate the number of moles of gases from a given volume or vice versa
• Simply cover the one you want and the triangle tells you what to do

To find the volume

Volume = Moles x Molar Volume

Examples of Converting Moles into Volumes Table

To find the moles

Moles = Volume ÷ Molar Volume
