Answer/Explanation:
Methanol has a molecular weight (32.04 g/mol), low-boiling point and because of its low boiling point, methanol readily evaporates at room temperature.
Under these specified non-standard conditions, the partial pressure of methanol is lower than its vapor pressure and this explains the reason for the spontaneous evaporation exhibited by methanol.
Answer:
5 × 10⁵ molecules (500,000 molecules)
Explanation:
Step 1: Convert 3 × 10⁻¹⁶ g to moles
We will use the molar mass of TCDD (321.97 g/mol).
3 × 10⁻¹⁶ g × 1 mol/321.97 g = 9 × 10⁻¹⁹ mol
Step 2: Convert 9 × 10⁻¹⁹ mol to molecules
The required conversion factor is Avogadro's number (6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol).
9 × 10⁻¹⁹ mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/1 mol = 5 × 10⁵ molecules
