Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1. Convert Grams to Moles</u>
Use the molar mass (found on the Periodic Table) to convert from grams to moles.
Use this value as a ratio.
Multiply by the given number of grams.
Flip the ratio so the grams of boron cancel out.
<u>2. Convert Moles to Atoms</u>
We use Avogadro's Number, 6.02*10²³: the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of boron.
Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.
The moles of boron cancel.
The original value of grams has 4 significant figures, so our answer should have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.
The 6 tells us to round the 2 to a 3.
25.00 grams of boron is equal to 1.393*10²⁴ atoms.
Dalton was the first scientist to create an atomic theory but he wasn't given any credit. J.J Thompson was credited for his theory (apple pudding)
