How do you use Avogadro's law to relate the volume of a gas at STP and the number of moles of the gas?
Use the molar volume of 22.4 L, which equals 1 mol at STP.
Three balloons filled with three different gaseous compounds each have a volume of 22.4 L at STP. Do these balloons have the same mass or contain the same number of molecules? Explain.
They contain the same number of molecules; however, the masses can differ depending on the molar masses of the substances.

A chemist collects 2.94 L of carbon monoxide (CO) gas at STP during an experiment. How can she can determine the mass of gas that she collected?
Divide 2.94 L by 22.4 L/mol, and then multiply by the molar mass of carbon monoxide
How do chemists count the number of representative particles in a substance?
They use the mole.
