Calculate the number of atoms in 5.6L of NH3.
Thanks
Answers
One mole contain 22.4L
Moles in 5.6L of NH3= 5.6/22.4 =0.25
numbers of molecules =0.25NA
For numbers of atom = multiply the no. of molecule by total no. Atomicity
0.25NA X 4 = NA
Total no. Of atom = NA
Concept:
Ionic bonds hold together compounds, which have two or more atoms, whereas covalent bonds hold together molecules. A molecule can contain just one element, however, the atoms in a compound must also be distinct from one another.
Given:
The volume of NH₃ = 5.6 L
Find:
Calculate the number of atoms in 5.6L of NH₃.
Solution:
We know that,
22.4 L = 1 mole of NH₃
Therefore,
5.6 L = (5.6 L * 1 mol) / 22.4 L
5.6 L = 0.25 mol
1 mol of gas contains 6.023 * 10²³ molecules.
0.25 mol will contain = (0.25 * 6.023 * 10²³) / 1
= 1.5 * 10²³ molecule
So, there are 4 atoms in the ammonia molecule i.e., one atom of nitrogen and 3 atoms of hydrogen.
Thus, the number of atoms in 5.6L of NH3 = 4 * 1.5 * 10²³ atoms
= 6.0 * 10²³ atoms of NH₃
Hence, the number of atoms in 5.6L of NH₃ is 6.0 * 10²³ atoms.
