Recall the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP), which is 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm pressure.
Understand that at STP, one mole of any ideal gas occupies the same volume, according to Avogadro's law.
Avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of molecules, so volume depends only on the amount of gas (moles), not the type of gas.
Since the problem states 1 mole of each gas (CO_2, O_2, N_2) at STP, each gas will occupy the same volume regardless of molecular weight or gas identity.
Therefore, the volume occupied by 1 mole of any ideal gas at STP is the same, approximately 22.4 liters.
