Question
Which of the following contains the least number of molecules?
- 1.12 L SO2 at STP
- 1 gm-mole SO2
- 32 g SO2
- 4 × 1023 molecules of SO2
Answer
(a) 1.12 L SO2 at STP
Explanation
- 12 L SO2 at STP ≈ 2.65 × 1023 molecules
- 1 gm-mole SO2 = 6.02 × 1023 molecules
- 32 g SO2 = 6.02 × 1023 molecules
- 4 × 1023 molecules of SO2 = 4 × 1023 molecules
Among the given options, “4 × 1023 molecules of SO2” contains the least number of molecules.
