How many molecules of ammonia gas are present in \(67.2 \mathrm{dm}^3\), measured at S.T.P.?

  1. A \(2.0 \times 10^{24}\)
  2. B \(1.0 \times 10^{23}\)
  3. C \(1.8 \times 10^{24}\)
  4. D \(5.0 \times 10^{24}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.8 \times 10^{24}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& \text {Number of moles of gas }=\frac{\text { Given volume }}{22.4} \\
& =\frac{67.2}{22.4}=3 \mathrm{moles}
\end{aligned}
\)
Number of molecules \(=\) moles \(\times \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& =3 \times 6 \times 10^{23} \\
& =18 \times 10^{23} \\
& =1.8 \times 10^{24}
\end{aligned}
