Chemistry Question on Some basic concepts of chemistry
If 224 mL of a triatomic gas has a mass of 1 g at 273 K and 1 atm. pressure, then the mass of one atom is
A
8.30×0−23g
B
6.24×10−23g
C
2.08×10−23g
D
5.54×10−23g
Answer
5.54×10−23g
Explanation
Solution
No. of mol of triatomic gas =22400mLmol−1224mL =10−2mol No. of molecules =10−2mol×(6.02×1023 molecules mol−1) =6.02×1021 molecules No. of atoms =3×6.02×1021=18.06×1021 =1.806×1021 1.806×1021 atoms has mass =1g 1 atom has mass =1.806×10211g =g10×10−221.806=0.554×10−22g =5.54×10−23
