It's true only if the gas is an ideal gas. It can be seen from the equation PV = nRT where n is the no of moles of an ideal gas.
Practically, no gas is an ideal gas because of interactions between various molecules. Therefore the volume occupied actually would not be equal to 22.4 l at STP.

The best way to think of this problem is to use the ideal gas law
PV = nRT
at STP (standard Temperature and Pressure) the temperature is 273 degrees K and the Pressure is 1 bar
We are also given n which is the number of moles; n = 1
R is the gas constant which is 0.0820574587 L · atm / K · mol
notice how the units match up
then we rearrange the Ideal gas law to give us the volume
V= nRT/P
V = 1mol x 0.0820574587 L · atm / K · mol x 273K /1 atm = 22.4
But the ideal gas law is only used for IDEAL GASSES it does not apply to all gasses
therefore the answer is FALSE

False, a mole is not a measurement of volume, it is a measurement of the number of molecules, there for the volume of one mole of any thing is based on the density.

true.
1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4dm3 at stp

True. In fact your question is the definition of a mole.

first of all gas can't be measure by L cuz L measure water and u r talking about a gas so its a trick question and its false.
