Solution

Pressure P=103 Pa×1 atm101325 Pa=0.00987 atm
Temperature T=350 K
Volume V=4 L
The number of moles of SO2 gas n=PVRT
n=0.00987 atm×4 L008206 Latm/mol cdotK×350 K
n=0.00137 moles of SO2 gas.
The number of molecules of SO2 gas
=0.00137 mol×6.023×1023 molecules/mol=8.28×1020 molecules of SO2 gas
Number of S atoms = number of molecules of SO2 gas =8.28×1020
Number of O atoms =2× number of S atoms =2×8.28×1020=1.66×1021
Total number of atoms = number of S atoms + number of O atoms =8.28×1020+1.66×1021=2.48×1021
