Molar gas volume is the volume of ONE moel of gas. It only depends on the pressure and temperature, not on the kind of gas. Molar volume at standard temperature and standard pressure is always 22,4 Litres (for any gas)

Molar volume of a gas is the volume that one mole will occupy. At STP, that value is 22.4 liters.
The molar volume of a liquid is greater than that of a gas because in a liquid, the particles are closer together and have stronger intermolecular forces holding them in place, resulting in a higher density compared to a gas where particles are more spread out and have weak intermolecular forces. This leads to a smaller volume per mole for gases compared to liquids.
Molar volume of gas is the volume which one mole of the gas occupies. According to Avogradro's law, ALL GAS HAVE THE SAME VOLUME AT THE SAME PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. So one mole of all gases occupies 22.4dm3 at s.t.p (273K 760mmHg) - i.e 22.4dm3 is the molar volume of all gases at s.t.p. (you can convert to other conditions of temperature and pressure using Boyle's, Charles' or General gas equations)
The molar volume of a gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure) is 22.4 L/mol. To calculate the molar mass of the gas, you can use the formula: Molar mass = (mass of gas / volume of gas) x molar volume at STP. In this case, with a mass of 60g and a volume of 5.6 dm3, the molar mass would be 60g/5.6dm3 x 22.4L/mol = 240 g/mol. Vapour density is calculated as 2 x molar mass, so in this case the vapour density would be 480 g/mol.

Molar volume is based on the volume occupied by one mole of gas molecules at a specific temperature and pressure. It is a macroscopic property and averages out the effect of individual gas particle size because the volume of the container is much larger compared to the size of gas particles. This allows molar volume to be consistent regardless of the size of the gas particles.
