A flask of volume 1l contains vapour of CH3OH at a pressure of 1atm and 25`C. The flask was then evacuated till the final pressure dropped to 10^-4 mm. Find the number of molecules of methyl alcohol left in the flask.

The final pressure after evacuation is given in mm Hg and hence has to be converted to atm.
 
 760 mm Hg = 1 atm
thus 0.001 mm Hg = 1. 31 x 10-6 atm.
 
As we know that at STP conditions 1 Mole of a substance occupies 22.4 L of volume and contains 6.022 x 1023 molecules
 
Here the volume occupied at STP = 1 Litre.
 
Thus no. of moles = 1/22.4 = 0.044 Moles of methanol and no. of molecules = 0.044 x (6.022 x 1023) = 2.68 x 1022
 
Hence, at 1.31 x 10-6 atm pressure, no. of molecules will be
 
= (2.68 x 1022 ) x (1.31 x 10-6)
 
Thus no. of molecules = 3.51 x 1016
