Question

20% surface sites have absorbed N2. On heating, N2 gas is evolved from sites and were collected at 0.001 atm and 298 K in a container of volume 2.46cm3. Density of surface sites is 6.023×1014 cm2 and surface area of 1000cm2. Find out the number of surface sites occupied per molecule of N2.

Solution

Given that for absorbed N2 on surface sites,

PN2=0.001atm,V=2.46cm3=2.46×103l,T=298K

nN2=PVRT=0.001×2.46×1060.0821×298=1.0×107

Molecules of absorbed N2=1.0×107×6.023×1023 =6.023×1016

Total surface sites available = Number of sites per cm2×Area =60.23×1014×1000=6.023×1017

Surface sites on which N2 is absorbed = 20% × Available sites

=20100×6.023×1017 =12.046×1016
Number of sites absorbed per molecule of N2=12.046×10166.023×1016=2
