At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the volume of an ideal gas contained in a jar is 55.3 L. How many molecules are in the jar. This question is to be answered in scientific notation.(eg. 1.5 e5)

1.49e24

Explanation:

Standars temperature and pressure are 273.15K and 1atm, respectively.

Using ideal gas law, we can find moles of an ideal gas if we know its pressure, temperature and volume as follows:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

Where P is pressure (1atm), V is volume (55.3L), R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), T is temperature (273.15K) and n moles of the ideal gas.

Replacing:

PV / RT = n

1atm*55.3L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

2.47 moles = n

Now, the question is about the number of molecules in the jar. By definition, 1 mole = 6.022x10²³ molecules.

As we have 2.47 moles:

2.47 mol × (6.022x10²³ molecules / 1 mole) =

1.49x10²⁴ molecules that are in the jar
