Three identical flasks contain three different gases at standard temperature and pressure. flask a contains c2h6, flask b contains o3, and flask c contains nh3. which flask contains the largest number of molecules?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • All the three flasks contain the same number of molecules.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's principle, equal volume of gases at the same temperature and pressure will contain the same number of particles (atoms or molecules).

Therefore, being the three flasks identical, which includes that they have the same volumen, and being that they contain different gases at standard temperature and pressure, regardless of the chemical formula of each gas, by direct use of Avogadro's principle, they all will contain the same number of molecules.

The ideal gas equation, pV = nRT reflects this fact: if you isolate the ratio V/n, you get V/n = RT/p. Then, since RT/p (the right side) is constant, V/n is also constant, meaning that for a fixed volume the number of particles is constant, regardelss of the gas.
