Answer:
Number of molecules = 23.9 × 10²³ molecules
Number of moles = 3.97 mol
Explanation:
Mass of HNO₃ = 250 g
Number of moles = ?
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 250 g/63 g/mol
Number of moles = 3.97 mol
Number of molecules:
The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.
It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.
The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
For example,
18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water
1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen
For 250 g of HNO₃:
250 g/ 63 g/mol = 3.97 mole
3.97 × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules = 23.9 × 10²³ molecules
