Chemistry Year 11 - Module 2 - Lesson 15
Gas Stoichiometry
1. Key Ideas
Gas stoichiometry is not a new method — it is the 4-step method with one extra conversion step added. When a gas is given or asked for, you convert between volume and moles using molar volume, then proceed as normal. The only trap is choosing the right molar volume for the stated conditions.
- STP = 0°C, 100 kPa → 22.71 L/mol (NESA standard)
- Why all gases occupy the same molar volume at the same T and P (Avogadro's law)
2. Success Criteria
By the end, you should be able to:
- STP = 0°C, 100 kPa → 22.71 L/mol (NESA standard)
- RTP = 25°C, 100 kPa → 24.8 L/mol
- n = V ÷ molar volume (volume to moles)

5. Short Answer Questions
1. Explain this lesson goal in your own words: "STP = 0°C, 100 kPa → 22.71 L/mol (NESA standard)". Use one specific example from the lesson.
2. Apply this idea to a new example: "RTP = 25°C, 100 kPa → 24.8 L/mol". Show your reasoning clearly.
3. Analyse why this idea matters for understanding Gas Stoichiometry: "n = V ÷ molar volume (volume to moles)".
6. Extend: Apply the Idea
A student gives a memorised answer about Gas Stoichiometry but does not use evidence or reasoning.
Improve the answer by writing a stronger response that uses accurate terminology, a relevant example and a clear explanation.
