Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $PV=nRT$ This can be rearranged as: $n=\frac{PV}{RT}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $n=\frac{(10^{-10})(0.001)}{(8.314)(273.15)}$ $n=4.403\times 10^{-17}moles$ Now we can find the number of molecules as $N=nN_A$ $N=(4.403\times 10^{-17})(6.022\times 10^{23})$ $N=2.7\times 10^7 molecules$
