प्रश्न
You have collected
- 2 litres of CO2
- 3 litres of chlorine
- 5 litres of hydrogen
- 4 litres of nitrogen and
- 1 litre of SO2,
under similar conditions of temperature and pressure. Which gas sample will have the greatest number of molecules? Justify your answer.
उत्तर
According to Avogadro's law, equal volumes of gases contain equal no. of molecules under similar conditions of temperature and pressure. This means more volume will contain more molecules and least volume will contain least molecules.
So, 5 litres of hydrogen has the greatest no. of molecules with the maximum volume.

State Avogadro's Law.
What are the main applications of Avogadro's law?
Samples of the gases O2, N2, CO2 and CO under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules represented by X. The molecules of Oxygen, occupy V litres and have a mass of 8 g. Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure:
In answering the above questions, which law have you used?
A gas cylinder contains 24 × 1024 molecules of nitrogen gas. If Avogadro's number is 6 × 1023 and the relative atomic mass of nitrogen is 14, calculate the mass of nitrogen gas in the cylinder.
Calculate the mass of 1022 atoms of sulphur.
[Atomic mass: S = 32, C = 12 and O = 16 and Avogadro's number = 6 × 1023]
Differentiate between N2 and 2N.
The gases chlorine, nitrogen, ammonia and sulphur dioxide are collected under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. The following table gives the volumes of gases collected and the number of molecules (x) in 20 litres of nitrogen. You are to complete the table giving the number of molecules in the other gases in terms of x.
| Gas | Volume (in litres) | Number of molecules |
| Chlorine | 10 | x |
| Nitrogen | 20 | |
| Ammonia | 20 | |
| Sulphur dioxide | 5 |
