At STP (see section 2), the volume of 1 mole of a gas contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms or molecules of that gas.

At STP, the volume of 1 mole of gas is 22.4 Liters.

6.02 x 1023 is called Avogadro's number, and represents the number of particles in 1 mole of any substance, not just gasses.

So, if you have 1 mole (4.00g) of Helium, you have 6.02 X 1023 atoms that have a volume of 22.4L at STP.

If you have 1 mole of H2 gas (2.02g), you have 6.02 X 1023 molecules of H2 that have a volume of 22.4L at STP.

If you have 1 mole of N2 gas (28.0g), you have 6.02 X 1023 molecules of N2 that have a volume of 22.4L at STP.

If you have 1 mole of CO2 gas (44.0g), you have 6.02 X 1023 molecules of CO2 that have a volume of 22.4L at STP.
