The best laboratory vacuum has a pressure of about 1.00 x 10-18 atm, or 1.01 x 10-13 Pa. How many gas molecules are in 8.57 cm3 in such a vacuum at 298 K?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Pressure P = 1.01 x10 -13 Pa

Volume V = 8.57 x10 -6 m 3

Temprature T = 298 K

From the relation PV = nRT

From this number of moles n = PV /RT

Where R = Gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

Substitute values you get n =(1.01 x10 -13 Pa)(8.57 x10 -6 m 3) / (8.314 x 298)

                                        = 3.493 x10 -22 mol

We know 1 mole = 6.023 x10 23 molecules

So, number of gas molecules in given vacuum = n x 6.023 x10 23

                                                                   = 210
