Ideal Gas at STP Calculator
Calculate gas volume using the ideal gas law (PV = nRT).
Results
The ideal gas law PV = nRT relates pressure, volume, temperature and amount of gas. At standard temperature and pressure (0°C, 1 atm), one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.414 liters. This calculator handles any conditions - useful for lab work, stoichiometry and engineering gas calculations.

Frequently asked questions
Exactly 22.414 liters at standard temperature (273.15 K) and pressure (1 atm). This is the molar volume and applies to any ideal gas regardless of identity.
V = nRT/P. For 1 mol at 25°C (298.15 K) and 1 atm: V = 1 × 0.08206 × 298.15 / 1 = 24.47 liters.
R = 0.08206 L·atm/(mol·K) when using liters and atmospheres. In SI units, R = 8.314 J/(mol·K). The value depends on the units you use.
Volume is directly proportional to temperature (in Kelvin). Doubling the absolute temperature doubles the volume. Going from 300 K to 600 K doubles the volume at constant pressure.
At 25°C and 1 atm, air density = PM/(RT) = 1 × 28.97 / (0.08206 × 298.15) = 1.184 g/L. At 0°C it is 1.293 g/L.
