After today, you should be able to…

• Calculate the volume of a gas

at STP given the number of
moles and vice versa

• Perform two step volume

conversions (Ex: atoms to
liters)

Mole  Volume Conversions

For one mole of any gas at
STP, the volume occupied will
be 22.4 liters.

STP = standard temperature and pressure

= 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere

1 mole gas = 22.4 L gas

Multiple Choice

What does STP stand for in chemistry?

• Standard Temperature Point
• Systematic Temperature Process
• Scientific Thermal Principle
• Standard Temperature and Pressure

Multiple Choice

What is the volume occupied by one mole of any gas at STP?

• 22.4 liters
• 25.4 liters
• 20.4 liters
• 24.4 liters

Example: How many moles of
Helium gas will occupy a volume of
149.3L at STP?

K: 149.3L He
U: ? mol He

149.3 L He

1

x
22.4 L He
1 mol He
=

6.665 mol He
