Question

A gas cylinder can hold 1 kg of hydrogen at room temperature and pressure. If the number of molecules of hydrogen in the cylinder is X, calculate the number of carbon dioxide molecules in the cylinder. State the law that helped you to arrive at the result.

Answer 1

According to Avogadro's law, "equal volumes of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules."

∴ Number of molecules of carbon dioxide in the cylinder = number of molecules of hydrogen in the cylinder

= X
