The temperature of an open room of volume 30 m³ increases from 17°C to 27°C due to the sunshine. The atmospheric pressure in the room remains 1 × 10⁵ Pa. In n_i and n_f are the number of molecules in the room before and after heating, then n_f - n_i =

  1. -1.61 × 10²³
  2. 1.38 × 10²³
  3. 2.5 × 10²⁵
  4. -2.5 × 10²⁵

Correct answer: -2.5 × 10²⁵

Solution

The correct option is -2.5 × 10²⁵ because as the temperature increases, the air expands, causing a decrease in the number of molecules in the room if the volume remains constant and the pressure is held steady. This results in a negative change in the number of molecules, indicating a loss.
