Considering the definition of STP conditions and Avogadro's number, the number of molecules of gas present in 2.24 L is 6.023×10²² molecules.
The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.
Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.
At STP, 2.24 L of carbon dioxide gas is collected. So, you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of STP conditions 22.4 L are occupied by 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas, 2.24 L are occupied by how many moles of carbon dioxide gas?
[tex]amount of moles of carbon dioxide gas=\frac{2.24 Lx1 mole}{22.4 L}[/tex]
amount of moles of carbon dioxide gas= 0.1 moles
Finally, 0.1 moles of carbon dioxide gas are collected.
Then you can apply the following rule of three, considering the Avogadro's number: If 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 0.1 mole of carbon dioxide gas contains how many molecules?
amount of molecules of carbon dioxide gas= (6.023×10²³ molecules × 0.1 moles)÷1 mole
amount of molecules of carbon dioxide gas=6.023×10²² molecules
Finally, the number of molecules of gas present in 2.24 L is 6.023×10²² molecules.
