Question

How many molecules of O2 are present in 1L air containing 80% volume at STP

Answer 1

80% of the volume of air contains oxygen
so volume of oxygen = 0.8 L
at STP 22.4 L of oxygen contains 6.023×10²³ molecules of O₂
so at STP 0.8  L of oxygen contains (6.023×10²³/22.4)=2.69 ×10²³ molecules of O₂

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: 2.15x 10^22 molecules.

Explanation:

▪️ Correct question should be: how many molecules of oxygen are present in 1 litre of air containing 80% of O2.

First, we will have to find amount of energy in one oxygen.

Therefore,

➡️ Amount of oxygen present in 1 litre air is = 80% *1000 ml

➡️ (80/100)*1000

=800ml

▪️ We know that, 1 mole of STp occupies 22.4 litre

It is equal to = 22400ml of O2 gas contains 6.022x 10^23 molecules

So,

➡️ 1ml of O2 gas Contains =6.022x10^23/22400

According to question, we have to find 800ml molecules.

Therefore,

800ml contains =(6.022x 10^23/22400) *800

=> 2.15 x 10^22

▪️ Hence, molecules present in 1 litre air containing 80% volume of at STP is 2.15x 10^22 molecules.
