Question

How many atoms are present in 2.1 moles of Fe

Answer 1

Answer:

1.3 x 10²⁴ atoms Fe

Explanation:

To convert moles to atoms, you need to multiply your given value by Avogadro's Number. This causes the conversion to occur because Avogadro's Number exists as a ratio. It is the ratio that allows for the cancellation of units during multiplication. This is why atoms should be in the numerator of your conversion. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Avogadro's Number:

1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

2.1 moles Fe          6.022 x 10²³ atoms
---------------------  x  -------------------------------  =  1.3 x 10²⁴ atoms Fe
                                        1 mole
