Chemistry Question on Stoichiometry and Stoichiometric Calculations
The molecular weight of O2 and SO2 are 32 and 64 respectively. At 15∘C and 150 mmHg pressure, 1L of O2 contains -N - molecules. The number of molecules in 2L of SO2 under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will be
A
N/2
B
N
C
2 N
D
4 N
Answer
2 N
Explanation
Solution
According to Avogadro's law "equal volumes of all gases contain equal number of molecules under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
Thus, if 1 L of one gas contains N molecules, 2 L of any gas under similar conditions will contain 2 N molecules.
