📌 Key Facts to Memorise

  • Molar gas volume at RTP = 24 dm³/mol (or 24,000 cm³/mol)
  • RTP = Room Temperature and Pressure (20°C, 1 atm)
  • Volume = moles × 24 (when volume in dm³)
  • Moles = volume ÷ 24
  • Applies to ALL gases — H₂, O₂, CO₂, N₂, etc.
  • 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³ — convert if needed!
  • Combine with n = m ÷ Mr for mass-to-volume calculations
