Chemistry Question on Some basic concepts of chemistry
Which of the following has smallest number of molecules ?
A
11.2L of O2 at NTP
B
8.0g of O2
C
0.1mole of O2
D
2.24×104mL of O2
Answer
0.1mole of O2
Explanation
Solution
(a) Number of molecules in 11.2L of O2
22.411.2×6.023×1023
=0.5×NA
(b) Number of molecules in 8.0g of O2
=328.0×6.023×1023
=0.25×NA
(c) Number of molecules in 0.1 mole of O2
=0.1×6.023×1023
=0.1×NA
(d) Number of molecules in 2.24×104mL of O2
=224002.24×104×6.023×1023
=NA
Thus, 0.1 mole of O2 contains smallest number of molecules
