Two different gases, at STP, have the same number of particles. What can you say about the respective volumes of the two gases?
1 Answer
Well, all we can say is that their volumes are dependent on their intermolecular forces of attraction... which lead to different densities.
If both gases are at STP, they share the same temperature and system pressure, and if the same number of particles of each gas are in the closed container, then the only variable left is their volumes.
The molar volume
EXAMPLE
At STP,
This is primarily because
[They have similar molar masses, which minimizes that as a factor.]
If for some completely unexpected reason, the gases were BOTH ideal, then they would have the same volume, but that's not stated...
