Molar Volume of a Gas
This hypothesis was not acknowledged in Avogadro's
lifetime and it wasn't until Stanislao Cannizzaro, in
1860, demonstrated that it was the solution to the
problem of atomic and molecular weights that Avogadro's
Law became widely accepted. The number of particles in
one mole of a substance was named Avogadro's number in
his honor, and is numerically equal to 6.02252 x 10 23
Avogadro’s law, which is
derived from this basic idea, says that the volume of a
gas maintained at constant temperature and pressure is
directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas,
or
V
= constant x n (where n is the number of
moles of the gas)
which can be rearranged thus:
P = the gas absolute pressure, in atm
n = number of moles, in mol
V = the volume, in L
T = the gas absolute temperature, in K
R = the universal gas law constant of 0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)
1 mole of gas is
calculated to be 22.4L/mole of a
gas @STP.
