A laboratory vacuum pump can reduce the pressure in a chamber to 1.0 × 10^-7 Pa.If the volume of the chamber is 0.500 m³ and the temperature is 27°C,how many molecules are left inside the chamber? (N_A = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/mol,R = 8.31 J/mol ∙ K) A)1.2 × 10¹³ B)2.4 × 10¹³ C)1.2 × 10¹² D)2.4 × 10¹² E)1.2 × 10¹⁴
