Ideal Gas Volume at STP Formula:
| From: | To: |
The STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) volume calculation determines the volume occupied by a gas at standard conditions (0°C and 1 atm pressure). According to Avogadro's law, one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP.
The calculator uses the STP volume formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula applies to ideal gases at standard temperature and pressure conditions (0°C and 1 atmosphere).
Details: STP volume calculations are essential in chemistry for gas stoichiometry, determining gas densities, comparing gas volumes under standard conditions, and solving various chemical reaction problems involving gases.
Tips: Enter the amount of substance in moles. The value must be positive and greater than zero. The calculator will compute the volume in liters that the gas would occupy at STP conditions.
Q1: What does STP stand for?
A: STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure, which is defined as 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atmosphere (101.325 kPa) pressure.
Q2: Why is the molar volume 22.4 L/mol at STP?
A: This value comes from experimental measurements and the ideal gas law. It represents the volume occupied by one mole of any ideal gas at standard conditions.
Q3: Does this work for all gases?
A: The 22.4 L/mol value applies well to ideal gases. Real gases may show slight deviations, but for most practical purposes, it's sufficiently accurate.
Q4: What is the difference between STP and SATP?
A: STP is 0°C and 1 atm, while SATP (Standard Ambient Temperature and Pressure) is 25°C and 1 atm, with a molar volume of 24.8 L/mol.
Q5: When should I use STP volume calculations?
A: Use them when working with gas stoichiometry problems, determining gas volumes in chemical reactions, or when you need to compare gas volumes under standard conditions.
