Volume Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator determines the volume of a gas based on the amount of substance (moles) and the molar volume under specific conditions.
Purpose: It's essential for chemistry calculations, particularly in stoichiometry and gas law problems.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The volume is calculated by multiplying the number of moles by the volume occupied by one mole of gas at specified conditions.
Details: Accurate volume calculations are crucial for chemical reactions, gas measurements, and laboratory preparations.
Tips: Enter the amount in moles and molar volume (default 22.4 dm³/mol for ideal gases at STP). All values must be > 0.
Q1: What is standard molar volume?
A: At STP (0°C, 1 atm), ideal gases occupy 22.4 dm³/mol. This changes with temperature and pressure.
Q2: When should I use a different molar volume?
A: For non-STP conditions, use the molar volume appropriate for your specific temperature and pressure.
Q3: Does this work for liquids or solids?
A: The formula applies to gases. For liquids/solids, you'd need density instead of molar volume.
Q4: How precise is this calculation?
A: It's exact for ideal gases. Real gases may show slight deviations.
Q5: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses dm³ (liters) for volume, but you can convert results as needed.
