Avogadro’s law At the same temperature

Avogadro s law At the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of molecules. azurin An electron-transfer protein containing a TYPE 1 copper site, isolated from certain bacteria. 

Comment Note that the volume of H2 is twice that of O2, which is what we would expect based on Avogadro s law (at the same temperature and pressure, volume is directly proportional to the number of moles of gases). 

In process engineering, moles are used extensively in performing (lie calculations. A mole is defined as that mass of a substance that is numen cally equal to its molecular weight. Avogadro s Law states that identical volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules for each gas. It can be reasoned that these identical volumes will have a weight proportional to the molecular weight of the gas. If the mass is expressed as... 

We can evaluate the constant (kik2k3) in this equation by taking advantage of Avogadro s law, which states that equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of moles. For this law to hold, the constant must be the same for all gases. Ordinarily it is represented by the symbol R. Both sides of the equation are multiplied by P to give the ideal gas law... 

Avogadro s law equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure that contain the same number of molecules. 

Imagine that you have two more gas samples inside cylinders with movable pistons (Figure 9.9). One cylinder contains 1 mol of a gas and the other cylinder contains 2 mol of the gas at the same temperature and pressure as the first. Common sense says that the gas in the second cylinder will have twice the volume of the gas in the first cylinder because there is twice as much of it. According to Avogadro s law, the volume of an ideal gas at a fixed pressure and temperature depends on its molar amount. If the amount of the gas is halved, the gas volume is halved if the amount is doubled, the volume is doubled. 

Put another way, Avogadro s law also says that equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same molar amounts. A 1 L container of oxygen contains the same number of moles as a 1 L container of helium, fluorine, argon, or any other gas at the same T and P. Experiments show that 1 mol of an ideal gas occupies a volume (the standard molar volume) of 22.414 L at 0°C and 1.0000 atm pressure. For comparison, the standard molar volume is almost exactly the same as the volume of three basketballs. 

The relationship between the volume of a gas and the quantity of the gaseous material, as represented by the number of moles, was established by Amedeo Avogadro in the early 1800s. He deduced from experiments performed by Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac that equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contained the same number of moles. This idea leads to Avogadro s law, which states that the volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas, or... 

Avogadro s hypothesis states that equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. Avogadro s law states that the volume of a gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the quantity of gas, or ... 

Amedeo Avogadro developed the hypothesis that equal volumes of different gases contain an equal number of molecules, if the gases are at the same temperature and pressure. The proportionality between volume and number of moles is called Avagadro s Law, and the number of molecules in a mole is called Avagadro s Number. Both were posthumously named in his honor. 

Based on Avogadro s law, one mole of a gas occupies the same volume as one mole of another gas at the same temperature and pressure. The molar volume of a gas is the space that is occupied by one mole of the gas. Molar volume is measured in units of L/mol. You can find the molar volume of a gas by dividing its volume by the number of moles that are present (- ). Look at the Sample Problem below to find out how to calculate molar volume. Then complete the following Thought Lab to find the molar volumes of carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas, and methane gas at STP. 

Avogadro s law equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of particles. (5.2) Avogadro s number the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of pure 12C, equal to 6.022 X 1023. (3.2)... 

In 1811, Avogadro formulated what is now known as Avogadro s hypothesis, which states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecules. It has been experimentally determined that 22.4 liters of any gas at 0 °C and 1 atm (standard temperature and pressure, STP) contain 1 mole of molecules (6.02 x lO ). This hypothesis allows for the statement of Avogadro s Law, which says that the volume of a gas, kept at constant pressure and temperature, is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas. As a formula, this reads... 

The overbar means average. The k in the proportionality constant is called the Boltzmann constant. It is equal to R, the ideal gas law constant, divided by Avogadro s number. Note that this k is the same for all gases. If two gases are at the same temperature, their molecules will have the same average kinetic energies. 

Comparison of gas volumes in balanced equations requires that all volumes be at the same temperature and pressure notice in the preceding equation how the volumes are in the exact same ratios as the coefficients in the balanced equation. This observation was first recognized by Gay-Lussac (1778-1823) and stated in his law of combining volumes in 1808 At a given temperature and pressure, gases combine in a ratio of small whole numbers. This observation was later interpreted by Avogadro who related the volumes of gas to moles of gas. Avogadro s work showed that the small whole numbers observed by Gay-Lussac were tied to the coefficients of the balanced equation. 

Answer Since both C2H2 and O2 are gases measured at the same temperature and pressure, according to Avogadro s law their reacting volnmes are related to their coefficients in the balanced eqnation that is, 2 L of C2H2 react with 5 L of O2. Knowing this ratio we can calcnlate the volnme (in liters) of O2 that will react with 2.64 L...
