One mole of a gas filled in a container at N.T.P., the number of molecules in 1 cm³ of volume will be
Correct Answer :
6.02 x 10²³ / 22400
Solution :
To find the number of molecules in 1 cm3 of a gas at N.T.P. (Normal Temperature and Pressure), we can use the concept of molar volume and Avogadro's number.
First, we recall that at N.T.P., 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies a standard volume of 22.4 liters.
We can convert this volume from liters to cubic centimeters (cm3):
Since 1 liter = 1000 cm3, the molar volume in cm3 is:
According to Avogadro's hypothesis, 1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of molecules, which is approximately:
Therefore, 22400 cm3 of gas contains 6.02 × 1023 molecules.
To find the number of molecules in 1 cm3 of volume, we divide the total number of molecules by the total volume in cm3:
Thus, the correct option matches the expression:
6.02 x 10²³ / 22400
