this seems wrong as i would think it would weight mush more. is she wrong and if so what is she thinking of because the number 22.4 does sound farmiliar.

pV = nRT
R = 0.08206
When p = 1 atm , T=273K and n=1
V=22.4 L
We can say that a STP (p=1 , T = 273K) the volume occupied by 1 mole of any gas is equal to 22.4 L
The number 22.4 liters is called the molar volume of an ideal gas

22.4 grams OF WHAT?
Yes, this is wrong. Because a liter is a measure of volume, and a gram is a measure of weight. You can not correctly compare the two at all. We certainly do incorrectly compare things like this every day, but no scientist or teacher should.
All you can say is that a liter of x substance at y temperature and z pressure weighs some number of grams.

It must refer to some other low density liquid because 1 liter of water is 1000 grams due to its density equaling almost 1. 1 mol of a gas is 22.4 liter i believe.

Gary above is 100% correct... if he is a pothead like me.
However to be technical, using pothead logic...
1gram
7grams = 1/4 ounce
28g = 1 ounce
Now, ounces are also a measurement of volume, and to prove this, I ask you look at the next 1 or 2 liter soda pop bottle you buy.
So a drinker would say...
16oz = 1 Pint.
So yes, it goes from grams to ounces
So seeing Grams convert to Ounces...
448 Grams = 16oz = 1 pint... and a pint is less than a Liter.

Liter refers to volume and grams is weight. The measurement of one against the other can only be considered depending on what is being measured. Water? Sand? etc...
Each will have a different weight at the 1 liter mark.

1 liter of what? You need to know the density of whatever it is you're taking a liter of.
22.4 comes from the ideal gas law PV=nRT; at standard temperature and pressure, one mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.

1 liter = 10 Deciliters
= 33.814 Fluid Ounces (US)
= 1.0567 Quarts (US)
= 0.2268 Gallons (US)
= 4.2268 Cups
But i think she meant that the 1 liter of "somethings" weights 22.4 grams.. Try to double check

Umm...a liter is not a weight measurement as far as I know. 1 liter of molten lead will way MUCH more then one liter of water.
You can't just say a liter weighs a certain amount. Did you mis-type your question or does your teacher need his/her license revoked? :)
Liter=volume
gram=mass

1 liter of what? water? that statement makes no sense

ur teacher is talking bullshit 1 litre is 1000 grams or 1000 millilitres
