Given :
Human blood should have around 1.04 kg/L platelets.
A blood sample of 4.01 milliliters is collected from a patient to be analyzed for a platelet count.
To Find :
The expected mass in grams of platelets in the blood sample.
Solution :
1 L of human blood contains 1.04 kg of platelets.
So, amount of platelets is 1 ml blood is :
Mass of platelets in 4.01 ml blood is :
Hence, this is the required solution.
Taking into account the definition of Avogadro's number and molar mass, 3.49334×10²² molecules of sucrose are present.
<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.
<h3>Avogadro's Number</h3>Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.
<h3>Molecules of sugar in this case</h3>In first place, the molar mass of sucrose is 342 g/mole. So, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 342 grams of the compound are contained in 1 mole, 20 grams of the compound are contained in how many moles?
<u><em>amount of moles= 0.058 moles</em></u>
Now, considering the Avogadro's number, you can apply the following rule of three: If 1 mole of the compound contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 0.058 moles contains how many molecules?
amount of moleculas= (6.023×10²³ molecules × 0.058 moles)÷ 1 mole
<u><em>amount of molecules= 3.49334×10²² molecules</em></u>
Finally, 3.49334×10²² molecules of sucrose are present.
