The relation between gram molecular mass and gram molecular volume is established by Avogadro's law. Explain?
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.
As
Therefore,
By rearranging,
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)
