Answer

$2.69\times 10^{25}\frac{1}{m^3}$

Work Step by Step

We can calculate the required number density as follows: $\frac{N}{V}=\frac{p}{K_bT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{N}{V}=\frac{1.013\times 10^5}{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 273}$ This simplifies to: $\frac{N}{V}=2.69\times 10^{25}\frac{1}{m^3}$
