Answer

a) $9.816\times 10^{11}$ oxygen molecules b) $5.235\times 10^{-11} g$

Work Step by Step

$V=500ml = 0.5dm^{3}=5\times 10^{-4}m^{3}$ $p=2.5\times 10^{-7}torr=2.5\times 10^{-7}\times 133.3 Pa=3.3325\times 10^{-5} Pa$ $T=1225K$ ------------a) $N=?$ b) $m=?$ a) $pV=nRT \implies pV=\frac{N}{N_{A}}RT \implies N=\frac{pVN_{A}}{RT}=\frac{3.3225\times 10^{-5}Pa\times 5\times 10^{-4}m^{3}\times 6\times 10^{23} \frac{1}{mol}}{8.314 \frac{J}{K\times mol}\times 1225K}=9.816\times 10^{11}$ b) $n=\frac{N}{N_{A}}=\frac{9.816\times 10^{11}}{6\times 10^{23} \frac{1}{mol}}=1.636\times 10^{-12} mol$ $m=M(O_{2})\times n=32\frac{g}{mol}\times 1.636\times10^{-12}mol=5.235\times 10^{-11}g$
