Two gas samples are at the same temperature and pressure.
| Sample | Amount of gas (mol) | Volume of gas (dm³) |
|---|---|---|
| X | 0.30 | 7.2 |
| Y | — | 9.6 |
Calculate the amount of gas in sample Y.
Sample X is nitrogen and sample Y is carbon dioxide.
A student says that sample Y has the greater volume because carbon dioxide molecules are larger than nitrogen molecules.
Explain why the student is wrong.
