Gas Calculations NJT

1) The document discusses gas calculations using molar volume, amount of substance in moles, and the ideal gas equation. 2) It defines molar volume as the volume occupied by 1 mole of an ideal gas at room temperature and pressure (24 dm3 or 24,000 cm3). 3) Examples are provided to demonstrate calculations of moles of gas from volume and vice versa, using the molar volume and converting between units as needed. Questions are then provided to practice these calculations.

Gas Calculations

Learning Outcomes
• Explanation and use of the term molar gas volume (gas
1 volume per mole, units dm3 mol–1)
• Perform calculations, using amount of substance in mol,
involving gas volumes
2
• Use the ideal gas equation: pV = nRT
• Exhibit confidence with m3
Moles and Gasses

Focus:

• Know the molar volume of gasses at room temperature and


pressure
• Calculate the amount of substance, in moles, using gas
volumes.

Key Words:
Gas, volume, moles.
Avogadro’s Law

Amedo Avogadro 1776-1856

At room temperature (25oC or 298K) and normal atmospheric pressure


(101kPa), the molar volume, Mv, is 24dm3 (or 24,000 cm3)

This is very useful as it is very difficult to weigh gasses!


Why must the pressure and temperature be kept the same?

It does not matter which type of gas is being measured. By using the
volume we can indirectly measure the number of moles and therefore
molecules of that gas!

Example 1
What amount, in mol, of gas is in 72 cm 3 of any gas at R.T.P (room temp &
pressure) ?

Number of moles (n) = Volume given = 72/24000 = 0.0030 mol


Molar Gas Volume
(24dm3)

· Both values have been converted into cm 3

Example 2
What is the volume in cm3, of 2.10 x 10-3 mol of any gas at R.T.P (room temp &
pressure) ?

Number of moles (n) = Volume given


Molar Gas Volume
(24000 cm3)

Hence, V = n x 24000 = 2.10 x 10 -3 x 24000 = 51.12 cm3

· Both values have been converted into cm 3
