Answer:

Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, both by weight and by volume (1), (2). Water vapour is also an effective greenhouse gas, as it does absorb longwave radiation and radiates it back to the surface, thus contributing to warming

1) How many molecules are there in 985 mL of nitrogen at 0.0° C and 1.00 x 10-6 mm Hg?

RSB [31]

Answer : The number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of $N_2$ gas = $1.00\times 10^{-6}mmHg=1.32\times 10^{-9}atm$ (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of $N_2$ gas = 985 mL = 0.982 L (1 L = 1000 mL)

n = number of moles $N_2$ = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of $N_2$ gas = $0.0^oC=273+0.0=273K$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

$(1.32\times 10^{-9}atm)\times 0.982L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 273K$

$n=5.78\times 10^{-11}mol$

Now we have to calculate the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas.

As we know that 1 mole of substance contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 mole of $N_2$ gas contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules

So, $5.78\times 10^{-11}$ mole of $N_2$ gas contains $(5.78\times 10^{-11})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.48\times 10^{13}$ number of molecules

Therefore, the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, $3.48\times 10^{13}$
