How many atoms are in 1.50 moles of Hg?

Answer:
There are 9.0345*10²³ in 1.5 moles of Hg.
Explanation:
The Avogadro Number or Avogadro Constant is called the number of particles that constitute a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of that substance. Its value is 6.023 * 10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.
Then a rule of three can be applied to calculate the number of atoms in 1.5 moles of Hg. This rule applies as follows: if 1 mole of Hg contains 6,023 * 10²³ atoms, 1.5 moles how many atoms of the element will they contain?
Number of atoms=9.0345*10²³
<u><em>There are 9.0345*10²³ in 1.5 moles of Hg.</em></u>

Explanation:
We are asked to find the mass of a number of platinum (Pt) atoms.
<h3>1. Convert Atoms to Moles </h3>First, we convert atoms to moles using Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are platinum atoms.
We will convert using dimensional analysis so we set up a ratio using the information we know (6.022 × 10²³ platinum atoms in 1 mole of platinum).
We are converting 4.99 ×10²¹ atoms of Pt to moles of Pt, so we multiply by this value.
Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of platinum cancel.
Divide.
Next, we convert moles to grams using the molar mass. This is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. This is found on the Periodic Table because it is equivalent to the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up platinum's molar mass.
- Pt: 195.08 g/mol
Set up another ratio using this new information (195.08 grams of Pt in 1 mole of Pt).
Multiply by the number of moles we just calculated.
The units of moles of platinum cancel.
The original measurement of atoms ( 4.99 ×10²¹ ) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredth place. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.
There are approximately <u>1.62 grams of platinum</u> in 4.99 ×10²¹ atoms of platinum.
