Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true.     If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas, there will only be about  1000 atoms left in the container.     The number of atoms or molecules in the container depends on  what the gas is composed of.     If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 millionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1013 (10,000 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container.     The number of atoms or molecules in the container does not depend on temperature.

Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true.

   

If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas, there will only be about  1000 atoms left in the container.

   

The number of atoms or molecules in the container depends on  what the gas is composed of.

   

If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 millionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1013 (10,000 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container.

   

The number of atoms or molecules in the container does not depend on temperature.
