Molar volume

In chemistry, the molar volume of a substance is the ratio of the volume of a sample of that substance to the amount of substance (usually in mole) in the sample. It can be computed as the substance's atomic or molecular weight, divided by its density. The SI unit of molar volume is cubic metres per mole (m3mol-1).

For an ideal gas, the standard molar volume is the volume that is occupied by one mole of substance (in gaseous form) at standard temperature and pressure (STP) of 273.15 K (H2O freezing temperature) and 101325 Pa (1 atm). It is 0.022414 m3mol-1 or 22.42 L/mol and is directly related to the universal gas constant R in the ideal gas law.

Cubic centimetres (cm3), a measure of volume one million times smaller than a cubic metre, are sometimes also used, to give units of cm3mol-1.

The molar volume is usually given for a solid substance at 298.15 K (temperature of standard state). Apart from temperature and density, it depends on phase and allotrope of the substance.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
