The best way to determine the number of atoms of arsenic in the sample will be to multiply 2.3 by Avagadro's number.
This is because Avagadro's number is the number of particles one mole of any substance has, and its value is 6.02 x 10²³
If the number of moles of a substance are known, then multiplying by Avagadro's number will give the number of particles. In this case, this is 1.38 x 10²⁴.

Calculate the mass percent composition of nitrogen in each nitrogen-containing compound:
c. NO2
Answer:
Their particles exhibit the same type of intermolecular interaction
Explanation:
In chemistry, we commonly say that 'like dissolves like'. This implies that polar solvents dissolves polar solutes while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.
This phenomenon of 'like dissolves like' is possible because, the dissolution of one substance in another involves intermolecular interaction between the solute and solvent molecules.
If the molecules of solute and solvent are both nonpolar and have about the same magnitude of intermolecular (dispersion) forces, interaction between the both molecules is significant hence the solute dissolves completely in the solvent.
Firstly, we need to convert 3g aspartame into moles aspartame. In order to do this we have to find the molecular mass of aspartame (the total weight of each atom of the molecule combined. This figure can be used to construct a conversion factor so that the grams may be converted into moles. Molecular weights for each atom can be found on any periodic table. Avagadro's number (6.022*10^23) is a constant value that expresses the number of molecules in one mole of a substance.
The molecular weight for aspartame is 294.3 grams per mole.
The process of finding how many atoms of H there are in 3.00g of aspartame would be like this:
1. 3g * 1mol/294.3g = .01mol aspartame (this is converting grams to moles)
2. .01mol * 6.022*10^23 = 6.022*10^21 (This is finding the number of molecules)
3. (6.022*10^21) * 18 = 1.08*10^23
This 3rd calculation is done because in part 2, you calculated the number of molecules of aspartame there were in 3g. In each molecule of aspartame there are 18 hydrogen atoms. So the final answer is:
1.08*10^23 hydrogen atoms.
