Gas Volumes in Stoichiometric Ratios

State

At the same temperature and pressure, reacting gases' volumes follow the same whole-number ratio as their equation coefficients.

Show

One volume of nitrogen reacts with three volumes of hydrogen to form two volumes of ammonia, matching the equation's 1:3:2 coefficients.

Watch for

This volume-ratio shortcut holds only at identical temperature and pressure for every gas — mixed conditions require converting to moles first.
