Explanation
Avogadro's law: equal moles mean equal molecules
Steps:
- Molar mass of Cl₂ is 71 g/mol, so moles in 71 g = 71 / 71 = 1 mol.
- Molar mass of H₂ is 2 g/mol, so moles in 2 g = 2 / 2 = 1 mol.
- Number of molecules = moles × Avogadro's constant (6.022 × 10²³).
- Ratio of molecules (Cl₂ : H₂) = 1 : 1.
Why A is correct:
- Avogadro's law states equal volumes (or moles at same T/P) of gases contain equal molecules; here, 1 mol each yields identical molecule counts.
Why the others are wrong:
- B and D: Ignore equal moles, falsely suggest fewer Cl₂ molecules.
- C: Reverses ratio, assuming more Cl₂ molecules despite equal moles.
Final answer: A
