You have a 5-liter container with 1.30 x 1024 molecules of ammonia gas (NH3) at STP.

How many molecules of argon gas (Ar) are in an identical container at the same temperature and pressure?

1). 2.00 x 1023
molecules
2). 6.02 X 1024
molecules
3). 1.30 X 1024
molecules
4). 6.02 x 1023
molecules

Answer:

3). 1.30 × 10^(24) molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

From avogadro's law which state that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

We can relate it to this question as;

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Where;

V₁ is initial volume

n₁ is initial number of molecules

V₂ is final volume

n₂ is final number of molecules

Thus at STP, we have V₁ = V₂ and as such Plugging in the relevant values gives;

5/(1.30 x 10^(24)) = 5/n₂

n₂ = 1.30 x 10^(24) molecules
