Topic Summary: Gas Volumes

Key Terms
  • RTP: 20°C and 1 atmosphere pressure
  • Molar gas volume: 24 dm³/mol at RTP
  • Volume = n × 24 (dm³)
  • Moles = V ÷ 24
  • 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³
Must-Know Facts
  • All gases: 24 dm³/mol at RTP
  • Particle size does not affect molar volume
  • Multi-step route: mass → moles → ratio → volume
  • Use 24 (not 22.4) for GCSE calculations
  • Always convert cm³ ÷ 1000 to get dm³ first

Quick Recall Flashcards

How do you convert cm³ to dm³?
Divide by 1000 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³ Example: 2400 cm³ = 2.4 dm³
What is the molar gas volume at RTP?
24 dm³/mol (or 24,000 cm³/mol) One mole of ANY gas occupies 24 dm³ at room temperature and pressure
