[Given Avogadro number as ' N ' ]

  1. A \(\dfrac{N}{4480}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{N}{44800}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{N}{22400}\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{N}{2240}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{N}{2240}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At normal temperature and pressure (NTP), the molar volume of an ideal gas is \(22400 \text{ cm}^3\). The number of moles \(n\) in \(2 \text{ cm}^3\) of Nitrogen gas is given by \(n = \dfrac{V}{V_{m}} = \dfrac{2}{22400} = \dfrac{1}{11200}\) moles. Nitrogen (\(N_2\)) is a…
