Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of a gas under specific conditions, such as standard temperature and pressure (STP). This concept is crucial for stoichiometric calculations in chemistry, determining gas capacities in various industries, and experimental gas characterization. The ideal gas law, PV=nRT, is used to calculate molar volume under varying conditions, highlighting the relationship between gas volume, temperature, and pressure.
