Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A 22.4-L sample of which of the following substances, at STP, would contain 6.02 X 1023 representative particles?
A
oxygen
B
gold
C
cesium iodide
D
sulfur
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Therefore, the correct choice is oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen gas is made up of diatomic molecules (O2). Therefore 22.4 L of oxygen gas at STP contains 1 mole of O2 molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence we get the ans as 6.022*10^20 molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Key Point: We know at STP, one mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L ( you can find this by solving PV = nRT. But it is better to remember it. so 22.4 L of CO gas is one mole of CO gas. therefore 22.4 L of CO gas contains 6.02 x 10^23 number of atoms.
