The number of molecules in 5.6 dm3 of oxygen under STP conditions is:

Correct answer: A. 1.5 x 10^23

  • A. 1.5 x 10^23
  • B. 1.34 x 10^22
  • C. 3.01 x 10^23
  • D. 3.01 x 10^22

Explanation

At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 dm3. So, 5.6 dm3 of oxygen under STP conditions is equivalent to 5.6/22.4 = 0.25 moles of oxygen. The number of molecules in 0.25 moles of oxygen is: 0.25 moles X 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mole = 1.505 x 1023molecules.
