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, known as the molar volume of a gas.
The molar volume of an ideal gas at STP is approximately 22.4 liters per mole.
Since oxygen (O_2), carbon dioxide (CO_2), and hydrogen (H_2) are all gases and can be approximated as ideal gases under these conditions, 1 mole of each will occupy the same volume.
Therefore, the volume occupied by 1 mole of each gas at STP is equal, regardless of their molecular weights or identities.
