Practice question · Numerical answer
A system contains 3.0 mol of gas occupying 0.075 m. Compute the molar volume in m/mol, to three decimal places.
Hints
- Molar volume is total volume divided by the number of moles.
- Compute 0.075 / 3.0.

Why
m/mol. Dividing one extensive quantity by another gives an intensive one, which describes the substance rather than the size of the sample.
