The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Equal volumes of different gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules" is TRUE or FALSE, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Statement**: We need to analyze the claim that equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. 2. **Recall the Ideal Gas Law**: The ideal gas law is given by the equation: \[ PV = nRT \] where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V \) = volume - \( n \) = number of moles - \( R \) = universal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature 3. **Set Up for Two Gases**: Let's consider two different gases, Gas A and Gas B. According to the problem, both gases are at the same pressure and temperature and occupy equal volumes. Therefore, we can denote: - For Gas A: \( P_1 = P \), \( V_1 = V \), \( T_1 = T \) - For Gas B: \( P_2 = P \), \( V_2 = V \), \( T_2 = T \) 4. **Calculate Moles for Each Gas**: - For Gas A: \[ n_1 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{RT_1} = \frac{PV}{RT} \] - For Gas B: \[ n_2 = \frac{P_2 V_2}{RT_2} = \frac{PV}{RT} \] 5. **Compare the Number of Moles**: Since both gases have the same pressure, volume, and temperature: \[ n_1 = n_2 \] This means that the number of moles of Gas A is equal to the number of moles of Gas B. 6. **Relate Moles to Molecules**: The number of molecules (\( N \)) is related to the number of moles (\( n \)) by Avogadro's number (\( N_A \)): \[ N = n \times N_A \] Since \( n_1 = n_2 \), it follows that: \[ N_1 = N_2 \] This indicates that the number of molecules in equal volumes of different gases under the same conditions is indeed equal. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the statement is TRUE. ### Final Answer: **The statement is TRUE.**
