Molar volume is a term used in chemistry and physics to describe the volume occupied by one mole of a substance. It is a physical property of a substance and is dependent on temperature and pressure. For gases, the molar volume can be calculated using the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), which is defined as 0 degrees Celsius (273.15 K) and 1 atmosphere of pressure, the molar volume of an ideal gas is approximately 22.4 liters per mole.

The concept of molar volume is particularly useful when dealing with gases because their volumes are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and pressure. For solids and liquids, the molar volume is generally much smaller than for gases and is less affected by typical temperature and pressure variations. However, molar volume is still a relevant property for these states of matter and can be calculated by dividing the molar mass of the substance by its density. The units of molar volume are typically liters per mole (L/mol) or cubic meters per mole (m³/mol). Understanding molar volume allows for the conversion between mass, volume, and moles for a given substance, which is fundamental in stoichiometry and chemical calculations.
