Question

If 322 particles of air are in a container , how many are Nitrogen? Oxygen? Argon?

Answer 1

251.16‬ nitrogen gas particles

67.62‬ oxygen gas particles

0.13 argon gas particles

Explanation:

Air is a mixture of many gases. Different gases have their own percentage composition in air.

Nitrogen = 78%

Oxygen = 21%

Argon = 0.04%

Since the air in the container is made up of 322 particles, we can find the the number of nitrogen, oxygen and argon gases in it;

Number of Nitrogen gas = $\frac{78}{100}$ x 322

                                         = 251.16‬ nitrogen gas particles

Number of oxygen gas = $\frac{21}{100}$ x 322

                                       = 67.62‬ oxygen gas particles

Number of argon gas = $\frac{0.04}{100}$ x 322

                                     = 0.13 argon gas particles
