Kinetic Theory of Gases: Practice Problem & Solution

You are given samples of 1 cm3 of H2, 1cm³ of O2 and 1 cm³ of Cl2, which are at NTP. The sample which has maximum number of molecules is :
H2
O2
Cl2
all have same values

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Kinetic Theory of Gases. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

At Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP), 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters and contains Avogadro's number (\(6.022 \times 10^{23}\)) of molecules.

Since each gas sample has the same volume (1 cm³) and is at NTP, they all contain the same number of molecules. This is because, at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of gases have equal numbers of molecules (Avogadro's Law).

Answer: All samples have the same number of molecules.
