Avogadro’s Number (NA)
It is defined as the number of molecules present in 22.4 dm3
of gas ,
or gram-molecule weight of any substance at N. T. P.
i.e. NA = 6.023 ´ 1023
e.g.
1) 22.4 dm3 of H2 gas at N.T.P. contains
6.023 ´ 1023 H2
molecules.
2) 1 gm molecule of N2 (i.e. 28 gms of nitrogen) contains 6.023
´ 1023 nitrogen molecules.
