Answer

$n_0=2.7 \times 10^{25} m^{-3}$

Work Step by Step

From the ideal gas law, $P = \frac{NkT }{V} $ We want to solve for molecules per cubic meter, so $P = n_okT$ Rearrange the equation $n_o =\frac{ P}{kT}$ Where $P = (1.00) atm \times 1.0\times 10^5 Pa/atm $ $P= 1.0\times 10^5 Pa$ $k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} J/K$ $T= 0^o C + 273 K$ $ T = 273 K$ so $n_o =\frac{1.0\times 10^5 Pa}{(1.38 \times 10^{-23} J/K)(273 K)}$ $n_0=2.7 \times 10^{25} m^{-3}$
