An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.53 ✕ 10−7 N/m2 at 26°C. How many atoms are there in a cubic centimeter at this pressure and temperature?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  value is  [tex]N = 3.708*10^{7} \ \ atoms[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The pressure is  [tex]P = 1.53 *10^{-7} \ N/m^2[/tex]

    The  temperature is  [tex]T = 26 + 273 = 299 \ K[/tex]

     The volume is  1 cubic cm = [tex]1 * 10^{-6} m^3[/tex]

Generally according to the ideal gas law we have that

      [tex]PV = NkT[/tex]

here  k is the Boltzmann constant with a value  [tex]k = 1.38 *10^{-23} \ J/K[/tex]

  =>  [tex]N = \frac{PV}{ k T}[/tex]

=>     [tex]N = \frac{ 1.53 *10^{-7} * (1* 10^{-6})}{ 1.38*10^{-23} * 299}[/tex]

=>    [tex]N = 3.708*10^{7} \ \ atoms[/tex]
