A.3.01×1020 B.3.01×1012 C.3.01×1023 D.3.01×1024 \begin{gathered} A.3.01 \times {10^{20}} \\\ B.3.01 \times {10^{12}} \\\ C.3.01 \times {10^{23}} \\\ D.3.01 \times {10^{24}} \\\ \end{gathered}

Explanation

Solution

Hint : For any given ideal gas, one mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4litres22.4litres of volume at STP. STP is the standard reference point of temperature (273.15k or 0∘C)(273.15k{\text{ or }}{{\text{0}}^ \circ }C) and pressure (1atm or 105pascals)(1atm{\text{ or 1}}{{\text{0}}^5}pascals) used when measuring gases.
1 mole=6.022×1023molecules1{\text{ }}mole = 6.022 \times {10^{23}}molecules
mole=volume22.4Lmole = \dfrac{{volume}}{{22.4L}}

Complete Step By Step Answer:
When we are given volume, we can convert it into a number of moles present. This helps us to calculate the number of moles.
1l=1000cc1l = 1000cc
To find mole, the formula is mole=volume22.4Lmole = \dfrac{{volume}}{{22.4L}}
Mole 1l=1000cc1l = 1000cc
mole=1.12×10−7×10322.4Lmole = \dfrac{{1.12 \times {{10}^{ - 7}} \times {{10}^3}}}{{22.4L}}
So the number of moles will be:
mole=0.05×10−4 =0.05×10−4×6.022×1023molecules \begin{gathered} mole = 0.05 \times {10^{ - 4}} \\\ = 0.05 \times {10^{ - 4}} \times 6.022 \times {10^{23}}molecules \\\ \end{gathered}
=3.01×1020= 3.01 \times {10^{20}} molecules.
The molecules are =3.01×1020= 3.01 \times {10^{20}} molecules.

Additional Information:
The two important concepts of science are the mole and Avogadro ’s number that provides a link between the different properties of separate atoms. The number of atoms or other particles in a mole is the same for all the substances. Moles in general is related to the elements mass. We can say that one mole of carbon −12- 12 atoms have 6.02214076×10236.02214076 \times {10^{23}} atoms and a mass of 12gram. In comparison to one mole of chlorine, by definition, of the same number of atoms as carbon −12- 12 ,but it has a mass of 35.45335.453 u. When we are given volume, we can convert it into a number of moles present. This helps us to calculate the number of moles. one mole of ideal gas occupies 22.4litres22.4litres of volume at STP. STP is the standard reference point of temperature (273.15k or 0∘C)(273.15k{\text{ or }}{{\text{0}}^ \circ }C) and pressure (1atm or 105pascals)(1atm{\text{ or 1}}{{\text{0}}^5}pascals) used when measuring gas.

Note :
The answer will always be in SI unit or in the form the question is asking for. So it is important to convert the units properly according to the question. Focus on whether a question asks for STP or something else. Sometimes the answer is wrong due to incorrect methods applied.
