How many particles are in 23 g of H 2 O?

1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 1023 particles.

⚛ 6.022 × 1023 is known as the Avogadro Number or Avogadro Constant and is given the symbol NA

N = n × NA

· N = number of particles in the substance

· n = amount of substance in moles (mol)

· NA = Avogardro Number = 6.022 × 10^23 particles mol-1


For H2O we have:

2 H at 1.0 each = 2.0 amu
1 O at 16.0 each = 16.0 amu
Total for H2O = 18.0 amu, or grams/mole

It takes 18 grams of H2O to obtain 1 mole, or 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water. Think about that before we answer the question. We have 25.0 grams of water, so we have more than one mole of water molecules. To find the exact number, divide the available mass (25.0g) by the molar mass (18.0g/mole). Watch how the units work out. The grams cancel and moles moves to the top, leaving moles of water. [g/(g/mole) = moles].

Here we have 25.0 g/(18.0g/mole) = 1.39 moles water (3 sig figs).

Multiply 1.39 moles times the definition of a mole to arrive at the actual number of water molecules:

1.39 (moles water) * 6.02 x 1023 molecules water/(mole water) = 8.36 x 1023 molecules water.

That's slightly above Avogadro's number, which is what we expected. Keeping the units in the calculations is annoying, I know, but it helps guide the operations and if you wind up with the unit desired, there is a good chance you've done the problem correctly.

N = n × (6.022 × 10^23)


1 grams H2O is equal to 0.055508435061792 mol.

Then 23 g of H2O is 1.2767 mol


To calculate the number of particles, N, in a substance:

N = n × NA

N = 1.2767 × (6.022 × 10^23)

N= 176.26

N=

why when you mix three different colors the new color you see is brighter than the original colors you mixed
maria [59]

Answer:

Mixing colored lights & mixing colored paints. The primary colors of light are also known as the additive colors, because, when you add these three colors of light (red, green and blue) your brain perceives white light. The primary colors of paints, however, are known as subtractive colors.

All mixtures can be separated by physical processes. true or false
DaniilM [7]
<span>True. In chemistry, mixtures are two (or more) substances mixed together but not combined chemically. This means there are no chemical bonds that have formed between the substances. As such, they can be separated with physical processes.</span>

The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm3. An irregular shaped sample of metal is 14 g and displaces a volume of 2.98 mL. (a) Find the
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Explanation:

<h2>(a).</h2>

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of metal = 14 g

volume = 2.98 mL = 2.98 cm³

It's density is

density =  \frac{14}{2.98}  \\  = 4.69798657...

We have the answer as

4.70 g/cm³

<h2>(b).</h2>

The metal is not copper since it's density is less than that of copper.

Hope this helps you
