Question

How many molecules are there in 985 mL of nitrogen at 0.0 degrees C and 1.00x10^-6 mm Hg?

(It would be better if work or steps to solve problem are given but if not its fine).

Answer 1

3.48 x 1013 N2 molecules

Explanation:

Lets set up our equation first

P = 1.00 x 10-6 mm Hg T = 0.0° C + 273 = 273 K

We are given the V = 985 mL ,

R = 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K

Now use the ldeal gas law, but we are solving n, amount of substanvce

PV = nRT, we will change this equation to ;

n = PV/RT

n = 1.00 x 10-6 mm x 1 atm/760 mm x 985 mL x 1 L/103

mL/

(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K x 273 K) = 5.78 x 10-11 moles N2

nmolecules = 5.78 x 10-11 moles N2 x 6.02 x 1023 N2 molecules/1 mol N2
