Around `20%` surface sites have adsorbed `N_(2)`. On heating `N_(2)` gas evolved form sites and were collected at 0.001 atm and 298 K in a container of volume `2.46cm^(3)` the density of surface sites is `6.023xx10^(14)cm^(-2)` and surface area is `1000cm^(2)` find out the number of surface sites occupied per molecule of `N_(2)`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the video transcript and include calculations along the way. ### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of \(N_2\) evolved We can use the ideal gas law, which is given by the equation: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \(P\) = pressure (in atm) - \(V\) = volume (in liters) - \(n\) = number of moles - \(R\) = universal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol)) - \(T\) = temperature (in Kelvin) Given: - \(P = 0.001 \, \text{atm}\) - \(V = 2.46 \, \text{cm}^3 = 2.46 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{L}\) - \(T = 298 \, \text{K}\) Substituting the values into the equation: \[ n = \frac{PV}{RT} = \frac{0.001 \times 2.46 \times 10^{-3}}{0.0821 \times 298} \] Calculating this gives: \[ n = \frac{2.46 \times 10^{-6}}{24.4758} \approx 1.0 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{moles of } N_2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules of \(N_2\) To find the number of molecules, we use Avogadro's number (\(6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{molecules/mol}\)): \[ \text{Number of molecules} = n \times N_A = 1.0 \times 10^{-7} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Number of molecules} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{16} \, \text{molecules of } N_2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total number of surface sites The total number of surface sites can be calculated using the density of surface sites and the surface area: Given: - Density of surface sites = \(6.023 \times 10^{14} \, \text{cm}^{-2}\) - Surface area = \(1000 \, \text{cm}^2\) Total surface sites: \[ \text{Total surface sites} = \text{Density} \times \text{Area} = 6.023 \times 10^{14} \times 1000 \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Total surface sites} \approx 6.023 \times 10^{17} \, \text{sites} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the number of occupied surface sites Since around 20% of the surface sites have adsorbed \(N_2\): \[ \text{Occupied surface sites} = 0.20 \times \text{Total surface sites} = 0.20 \times 6.023 \times 10^{17} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Occupied surface sites} \approx 1.2046 \times 10^{17} \, \text{sites} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the number of surface sites occupied per molecule of \(N_2\) Finally, we can find the number of surface sites occupied per molecule of \(N_2\): \[ \text{Sites occupied per molecule} = \frac{\text{Occupied surface sites}}{\text{Number of molecules}} = \frac{1.2046 \times 10^{17}}{6.022 \times 10^{16}} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Sites occupied per molecule} \approx 2 \] ### Final Answer The number of surface sites occupied per molecule of \(N_2\) is approximately **2**. ---
