Question

How many atoms would be contained in 549 grams of zinc

Answer 1

Answer:

                       5.05 × 10²⁴ Zn Atoms

Explanation:

                    In order to find the number of atoms we will follow these two steps;

Step 1:  Finding out the moles of Zn as;

Moles  =  Mass / A. Mass

Moles  =  549 g / 65.38 g/mol

Moles  =  8.397 moles

Step 2: Calculating No. of Atoms as:

According to Avogadro's Law, each mole contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles. These particles can be any entity i.e. atoms, molecules, formula units, ions e.t.c. So,

No. of Atoms  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

No. of Atoms  =  8.397 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

No. of Atoms  =  5.05 × 10²⁴ Zn Atoms
