The maximum number of molecules is present in
- 15 L of H2 gas at STP
- 5 L of N2 gas at STP
- 0.5 g of H2 gas
- 10 g of O2 gas
Answer
(1) 15 L of H2 gas at STP
Solution
Number of molecules ∝ number of moles. At STP, 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4 L.
(1) n = 1522.4 = 0.67 mol
(2) n = 522.4 = 0.22 mol
(3) n = 0.52 = 0.25 mol
(4) n = 1032 = 0.31 mol
∴ 15 L of H2 at STP has the maximum number of moles and hence of molecules.
Answer: (1)
