Solution
First we should calculate the number of moles of the gas under the given condition by the relation PV = nRT Here P = 7.6 * 10-10 mm Hg = 7.6 *10-10/760 atm. = 1 * 10-12 atm. V = 1 litre T =0°C=273 + 0 = 273K R = 0.082 litre atm./K/mol
Putting the values in equation n = PV/RT = 1 *10-12 *1/0.082 *273 moles now since 1 mole = 6.023*1023 molecules
