In a dilute acid solution most if not all of the molecules will split into ions.
For example HCl is a strong acid and 100% of the molecules will split into
H+ & Cl-

in a weak acid solution only a portion of the molecules will turn into ions because the ionization percentage isn't as large. Which will essentially leave a high percentage of un-reacted molecules

How many molecules are in 7.62 L of CH4, at 87.5°C and 722 torr

pickupchik [31]

Answer: There are $1.469 \times 10^{23}$ molecules present in 7.62 L of $CH_4$ at $87.5^{o}C$ and 722 torr.

Explanation:

Given : Volume = 7.62 L

Temperature = $87.5^{o}C = (87.5 + 273) K = 360.5 K$

Pressure = 722 torr

1 torr = 0.00131579

Converting torr into atm as follows.

$722 torr = 722 torr \times \frac{0.00131579 atm}{1 torr}\\= 0.95 atm$

Therefore, using the ideal gas equation the number of moles are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$PV = nRT\\0.95 atm \times 7.62 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K\\n = \frac{0.95 atm \times 7.62 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K}\\= \frac{7.239}{29.59705}\\= 0.244 mol$

According to the mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms. Hence, number of atoms or molecules present in 0.244 mol are calculated as follows.

$0.244 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 1.469 \times 10^{23}$

Thus, we can conclude that there are $1.469 \times 10^{23}$ molecules present in 7.62 L of $CH_4$ at $87.5^{o}C$ and 722 torr.
