The number of atoms in 0.1 mol of a triatomic gas is (N_A = 6.02×10²³ mol⁻¹)

The number of atoms in 0.1 mol of a triatomic gas is ($N_A = 6.02\times10^{23}\ mol^{-1}$)
A $1.800\times10^{22}$
B $6.026\times10^{22}$
C $1.806\times10^{23}$
D $3.600\times10^{23}$

Detailed Solution

Number of molecules in 0.1 mol = $0.1\times N_A = 0.1\times6.02\times10^{23} = 6.02\times10^{22}$
Each molecule of a triatomic gas contains 3 atoms.
Number of atoms = $3\times6.02\times10^{22}$
$= 1.806\times10^{23}$
