An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.83 ✕ 10−7 N/m2 at 28°C. How many atoms are there in a cubic centimeter at this pressure and temperature?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]44.1\times 10^6[/tex] atoms

Explanation:

According to the ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = Pressure of the gas = [tex]1.83\times 10^{-7}N/m^2=1.81\times 10^{-12}atm[/tex]     [tex]1N/m^2=9.87\times 10^{-6}atm[/tex]

V= Volume of the gas = [tex]1cm^3=1ml=0.001L[/tex]       (1L=1000ml)

T= Temperature of the gas = 28°C = 301 K      [tex]0^0C=273K[/tex]  

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n=  moles of gas= ?

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.81\times 10^{-12}atm\times 0.001L}0.0821Latm/Kmol\times 301K}=7.32\times 10^{-17}moles[/tex]

Number of atoms =[tex]moles\times {\text {avogadro's number}}=7.32\times 10^{-17}mol\times 6.023\times 10^{23}mol^{-1}=44.1\times 10^6atoms[/tex]

Thus there are [tex]44.1\times 10^6[/tex] atoms  in a cubic centimeter at this pressure and temperature.
