There are 1.078 x 10²³ molecules

Further explanation

Given

4 dm³ = 4 L Nitrogen gas

Required

Number of molecules

Solution

Assumptions on STP (1 atm, 273 K), 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 4 L :

mol = 4 : 22.4

mol = 0.179

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles(molecules, atoms)

For 0.179 :

= 0.179 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 1.078 x 10²³
