Taking into account the definition of avogadro's number, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

First of all, you have to know that Avogadro's number indicates the number of particles of a substance (usually atoms or molecules) that are in a mole.

Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole and it applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023×10²³ molecules are contained in 1 mole of methane, then 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules are contained in how many moles of methane?

amount of moles of methane= (20.32×10¹⁶ molecules × 1 mole)÷ 6.023×10²³ atoms

Solving:

<u><em>amount of moles of methane= 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles</em></u>

Finally, 3.37×10⁻⁷ moles of methane are 20.32×10¹⁶ molecules.

bogdanovich [222]

Substances can change state, usually when they are heated or cooled. For example, liquid water turns into steam when it is heated enough, and it turns into ice when it is cooled enough. ... The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state.

Which gas will effuse at the rate closest At a particular pressure and temperature, nitrogen gas effuses at the rate of 79mLs. U

Contact [7]

Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.
