Can someone please get me started on this one homework question? How many molecules of N2 are in a 500mL container at 780mm Hg and 135 degress Celcius?
Thanks
David

N2 molecules, or nitrogen molecules, play a crucial role in many chemical and biological processes. In a 500mL container, the N2 molecules are tightly packed and have a high pressure, making them useful for various applications such as pressurizing gas cylinders or creating an inert atmosphere in chemical reactions.
The pressure of 780mm Hg, also known as 1 atmosphere, is considered a standard pressure for gases. At this pressure, N2 molecules are in a gaseous state and can freely move and interact with each other. This pressure is also used to measure the amount of gas present in a container.
The temperature of 135°C is relatively high for N2 molecules, as their boiling point is -195.8°C. At this temperature, the N2 molecules have a higher kinetic energy and are moving at a faster rate. This can affect their behavior and interactions with other molecules.
In this scenario, the N2 molecules are in a gaseous state and are constantly colliding with the walls of the container. Due to the high pressure and temperature, these collisions are frequent and energetic, resulting in a high amount of pressure inside the container.
Yes, it is possible to change the pressure or temperature of N2 molecules in a container by adjusting the external conditions. For example, if the container is heated or cooled, the temperature of the N2 molecules will change accordingly. Similarly, the pressure can be altered by changing the volume of the container or adding/removing N2 molecules.
