25cm3 of a gas X contains Z molecules at 15oC and 75 mmHg. How many molecules will 25 cm3 of another gas Y contain at the same temperature and pressure?
25cm3 of a gas X contains Z molecules at 15oC and 75 mmHg. How many molecules will 25 cm3 of another gas Y contain at the same temperature and pressure?
Answer Details
The question is asking about the number of molecules of gas Y that will be present in a volume of 25cm³ at the same temperature and pressure as 25cm³ of gas X, which contains Z molecules. Since both gases are at the same temperature and pressure, we can assume that they have the same volume. Therefore, the volume of gas Y is also 25cm³. The number of molecules of gas Y can be calculated using the following formula:
Number of molecules = (Volume of gas * Number of molecules of gas X) / Volume of gas X
Plugging in the given values, we get:
Number of molecules of gas Y = (25cm³ * Z) / 25cm³ = Z
Therefore, the correct answer is option C, which is Z.
