We know that, at STP, one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L of volume
we'll use the same principle to solve this problem
Converting given volume to Liters:
We know that 1 m³ = 1000 L
So, 20000 m³ = (20000)*(1000) L = 2 * 10⁷ L
Converting Liters to moles:
As mentioned above, at STP, one mole occupies 22.4 Liters
Number of moles in 2 * 10⁷ L = 2 * 10⁷ / 22.4
Number of moles = 8.9 * 10⁵ moles
Converting moles to number of particles:
We know that 1 mole contains 6.022 * 10²³ molecules
So, 8.9 * 10⁵ moles contain [(8.9 * 10⁵) * (6.022 * 10²³)] molecules
Number of molecules = 53.6 * 10²⁸ molecules
In proper scientific notation:
Number of molecules = 5.36 * 10²⁹ molecules
