Question

5) Calculate the volume, in liters, of 3.24 x 1022 molecules CI2

Answer 1

Answer: 1.12 Liters

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {avogadro's number}}=\frac{3.24\times 10^{22}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=0.05moles$

1 mol of $Cl_2$ occupy = 22.4 L

Thus 0.05 mol of $Cl_2$ will occupy = $\frac{22.4}{1}\times 0.05=1.12 L$
