The lowest pressure attainable using the best available vacuum techniques is about 10−12N/m2.

Part A

At such a pressure, how many molecules are there per cm3 at 13 ?C?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

Expert Solution

We are given   P = 10-12 N/m2 ,

Volume, V = 1 cm3= 10-6 m3 and

T=13oC= 13+273= 286 K

Using gas law, P*V = n R T, where n is number of moles and R=8.314JK-1.

n = PV/(RT) => n = 10-12*10-6/(8.314*286) = 4.205*10-22 moles

Hence number of molecules = number of moles * Avogadro's number

                                              = 4.205*10-22 moles * 6.023*1023 molecules/mole

                                              = 253

Number of molecules = 250 (upto 2 significant figures)
