Answer:
3.2 x 10²¹molecules
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of nitrogen gas = 120cm³
Unknown:
Mass of nitrogen gas = ?
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, note that;
1 mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4L at STP
Now;
convert 120cm³ to L ;
1000cm³ = 1L
120cm³ gives 0.12L
Since;
22.4L of gas has 1 mole at STP
0.12L of gas will have
= 0.0054mole at STP
So;
Mass of N₂ = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of N₂ = 2(14) = 28g/mol
Mass of N₂ = 0.0054 x 28 = 0.15g
Now;
1 mole of a gas will have 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.0054 mole of N₂ will contain 0.0054 x 6.02 x 10²³ =
3.2 x 10²¹molecules
Answer:
Volumes can have the same volume but different masses if they have different densities. For example, a 10 x 10 x 10 block of lead has the same volume as a 10 x 10 x 10 block of pine wood, but the lead block weighs 22.6 times more than the pine block. Indeed, the density of lead is high enough that the lead block will sink in water, whereas the pine block's density is low enough that the pine block will float in water.
Volume is a measurement, the units are cubic metres or cubic centimetres. Litres = 1000 cm3
Mass is a measurement, the units are grams, kilograms.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to that answer.
Mass is not weight. it is the amount of matter an object takes up. Therefore, saying that a lead block weights 22.6 times more than the pine block does not answer how an object can have different masses but the same volume. :D
