Equal amounts in moles of gases occupy the same volume under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. (Chem only) Do all gases occupy the same volume?

Recall the equation: number of moles = mass/(relative formula mass) Use the equation: volume of gas at rtp = number of moles x molar gas volume (24 dm3) for simple examples. Extended writing: write instructions to another student on how to calculate the volume of a gas. Use balanced equations and known volume of reactant/product to calculate the volumes of gaseous reactants/ products.

The volume of one mole of any gas at room temperature and pressure (20oC and 1 atmosphere pressure) is 24 dm3. (Chem only) What volume does one mole of any gas occupy at room temperature and pressure?

The volumes of gaseous reactants and products can be calculated from the balanced equation for the reaction. (Chem only) How could you calculate the volume a gas would occupy if you were given the mass of gas made?

Students should be able to calculate the volume of a gas at room temperature and pressure from its mass and relative formula mass (Chem only) If you have 88g of CO2. What volume would it occupy?

Students should be able to calculate volumes of gaseous reactants and products from a balanced equation and a given volume of a gaseous reactant or product (Chem only) In the reaction CH4 2O2 ? CO2 2H2O (at rtp) what volume of water vapour is produced when 2.4 dm3 of methane burns?

Students should be able to change the subject of a mathematical equation. (Chem only) Rearrange the volume of gas equation to calculate the number of moles
