Twenty precent of the surface sites of a catalyst is occupied by nitrogen molecules. The density of surface sites is `6.023xx10^(14)cm^(-2)` . The total sarface area is `1000cm^(2)` . The catalyst is is henced to `300K` and nitrogen is completely desorbed a pressure of `0.001` atm and volume of `2.46cm^(3)` . Calculate the number of sites occupied by niitrogen molecules. |

Answer» Correct Answer - 2 `N_(2)=0.001` atm: `T=300K, V=2.46cm^(3)` `therefore` Number of `N_(2)` molecules `=(PV)/(RT)xxN_(0)=(0.001xx2.46xx10^(-3))/(0.082xx300)xx6.023xx10^(23)=6.016xx10^(16)` Now, total number of surface sites =DensityxxxTotal surface area =`6.023xx10^(14)xx1000=6.023xx10^(17)` Site occupied by `N_(2)` molecules `=(20)/(100)xx6.023xx10^(!7)=12.04xx10^(!6)` `therefore` Number of stites occupied by each `N_(2)` molecule `=(12.04xx10^(16))/(6.016xx10^(16))=2` |
