One gram mole of a gas at N.T.P. occupies 22.4 litres. This fact was derived from
(a) Law of gaseous volumes
(b) Dalton's atomic theory
(c) Avogadro's hypothesis
(d) Law of constant proportions

Option (c) Avogadro's hypothesis
Explanation
By definition of vapour density of a gas ,we know
Vapour density (D)
= mass of 1L gas at NTP,/mass of 1L Hydrogen at NTP
We know molecular wt M=2D
And by actual experiment the mass of 1L Hydrogen at NTP is 0.089g
So (M×0.089)g hydrogen occupies 1L at NTP
So 1gmole or Mg hydrogen will occupy 2/0.089=22.4L at NTP
Correct option (c) Avogadro's hypothesis
Explanation:
According to Avogadro's hypothesis, equal volumes of different gases. contain same number of molecules under similar conditions of temperature and pressure. Thus, 22.4 litres of any gas at NTP will contain one gram mole or its molecular mass in grams.
