The volume occupied by the molecules contained in water at STP, if the molecular forces vanish away, is:
When intermolecular forces vanish, water vapour behaves as an ideal gas. We can calculate the volume using the Ideal Gas Law or the molar volume at STP.
Calculate Moles (): Molar mass of water () = . Given mass = . .
Calculate Volume (): At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), one mole of an ideal gas occupies (standard approximation for NEET calculations; older definition). .
Convert to SI Units (): Since : .
(Note: Using the modern IUPAC STP molar volume of would yield , which is closest to option A).
