Study Notes
Avogadro's Law and Molar Volume
- Avogadro's Law proposes that equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of particles.
- Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes states that the volumes of gaseous reactants and products, measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, are always whole number ratios.
- Avogadro's hypothesis explained Gay-Lussac's observations. This hypothesis was initially met with skepticism, but eventually gained acceptance.
- The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (n) of the gas, as long as the temperature and pressure are held constant. This relationship is expressed as V ∝ n.
Molar Volume
- The molar volume (v) is the volume occupied by one mole of a gas.
- At standard temperature and pressure (STP), the molar volume is 22.4 L/mol.
- At standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), the molar volume is 24.8 L/mol.
- These molar volumes are similar for all gases.
- Molar volume is a conversion factor that can be used for conversions between moles of a gas and its volume when conditions are standard.
Mathematical Expression of Avogadro's Law
- Under constant temperature and pressure, the ratio of the initial volume (V₁) to the number of moles (n₁) is equal to the ratio of the final volume (V₂) to the number of moles (n₂). This is expressed as: n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂.
Examples
- Examples of calculations are provided demonstrating how to use the molar volume constant to convert moles to volume or volume to moles under standard conditions.
- Example problems show how to use ratios and conversion factors to solve gas law problems.
