Answer:

A) volume of Cl₂ = 2.24 L

B) volume of methane = 134.4 L

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given data

Number of molecules of chlorine = 6×10²²

Solution

first we find out the number of moles of chlorine

number of moles = Number of molecules / Avogadro number

number of moles = 6×10²² / 6.02×10²³

number of moles = 0.1 mol

Volume of chlorine:

Standard volume of one mole of gas is 22.4 L.

For 0.1 mol:

22.4 × 0.1 L = 2.24 L

Another method:

At the standard volume gas occupy the standard pressure and temperature:

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

V = 0.1 mol. 0.0821 L. atm. mol⁻¹. k⁻¹× 273 K / 1 atm

V = 2.24 L.atm / 1 atm

V = 2.24 L

B) Given data

Number of molecules of methane = 3.6×10²⁴

Solution

first we find out the number of moles of methane

number of moles = Number of molecules / Avogadro number

number of moles = 3.6×10²⁴ / 6.02×10²³

number of moles = 6.0 mol

Now we find out the volume of methane

Standard volume of one mole of gas is 22.4 L.

For 6.0 mol:

22.4 × 6.0 L = 134.4 L

Another method:

At the standard volume gas occupy the standard pressure and temperature:

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

V = 6 mol. 0.0821 L. atm. mol⁻¹. k⁻¹× 273 K / 1 atm

V = 134.4 L. atm/ 1 atm

V = 134.4 L
