    In a mole of water vapour at STP, the volume actually occupied or taken up by the molecules (i.e., Avogadro number x the volume of one molecule) is

    A)  Less than 0.1% of 22.4 litres

    B)  About 10% of the volume of the container of 22.4 litres

    C)  Between 10% to 20% of 22.4 litres

    D)  Between 2% to 5% of 22.4 litres

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    One mole of water \[=18g=18\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\] (density of water \[=1g/c{{m}^{3}}\] Volume of one mole of water vapours = 22.4 L \[=22400\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\] Percentage volume actually occupied by the water molecules \[=\frac{18}{22400}\times 100=\frac{9}{112}=\frac{9}{112}<0.1%\]
