Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true?     If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container.     If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container.     When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant.     At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms.
