Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 18

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{N}_2} \cdot \mathrm{~V}}{\mathrm{RT}} \\ & \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{700}{760} \times \frac{50}{1000} \times \frac{1}{0.0821 \times 300} \\ & \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}}=2 \times \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{N}_2} \\…
