Question

The relation between gram molecular mass and gram molecular volume is established by Avogadro's law. Explain?

Solution

Avogadro's law: Equal volumes of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules.

22.4 L of any gas at STP weighs equal to its molecular mass expressed in grams. This mass is called as Gram molecular mass and the volume is called as Gram molecular volume.

Molecularmass=2×Vapourdensity

As Vapourdensity=MassofcertainamountofgasatSTPMassofsamevolumeofH2atSTP

Therefore, Molecularmass=2×MassofcertainamountofgasatSTPMassofsamevolumeofH2atSTP

Molecularmass=2×Massof1LofthegasatSTPMassof1LofH2atSTP

Molecularmass=2×Massof1LofgasatSTP0.089g

By rearranging,

Molecularmass=20.089×Massof1LofgasatSTPMolecularmass=22.4×Massof1LofgasatSTPMolecularmass=Massof22.4LofthegasatSTP

Hence,

STP= Standard temperature and pressure (T=0 °C and P=1 atm. If P=1 bar, then at STP volume is 22.7 L as 1atm= 1.01 bar)
