Answer: 44.8 L
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.
Standard condition of temperature (STP) is 273 K and atmospheric pressure is 1 atm respectively.
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {Avogadro's number}}=\frac{120\times 10^{22}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=2moles[/tex]
1 mole of [tex]NO[/tex] occupies volume = 22.4L at STP
Thus 2 moles of magnesium react with=[tex]\frac{22.4}{1}\times 2=44.8L[/tex]
Thus the volume of [tex]120\times 10^{22}[/tex] molecules of nitric oxide gas is 44.8 L.
