Question
Question: When x molecules are removed from 200 mg of \({N_2}O\), \(2.89 \times {10^{ - 3}}\) moles of \({N_2}...
When x molecules are removed from 200 mg of N2O, 2.89×10−3 moles of N2O are left in x will be
A. 1020 molecules
B. 1010 molecules
C. 21 molecules
D. 1021 molecules
Solution
Hint: - For solving these types of questions we must remember the molecular mass of the given compound. Also, we must know the definition and value of mole.
Complete answer:
Molecular mass of N2O = 44 and weight of N2O= 200mg = 0.2g
Moles of N2O present = 440.2= 4.55×10−3
Let moles of N₂O removed be x, therefore moles of N2O remained = 2.89×10−3moles
Thus 4.55×10−3- x= 2.89×10−3
x=4.55×10−3- 2.89×10−3
x=1.65×10−3mole
As we know in 1 mole there are 6.022×1023 molecules
Therefore, 1.65×10−3= 6.022×1023 × 1.65×10−3
9.97×1020molecules
1021 molecules
Therefore, option D is the correct answer and when x molecules are removed from 200 mg ofN2O moles of N2O left will be 1021 molecules.
Note: - In this question we saw the whole question was based on simple calculation but the values are very important. We must remember the value like in 1 mole there are 6.022×1023 molecules. This is very important.
