Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

1.2 × 10²⁴ molecules C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 1.2 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
Divide: $\displaystyle 1.99269 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6$
