Question

How many particles would be found in a 89.2 g sample of Na?

Answer 1

One mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10∧23 particles. Thus we first convert  89.2 g to moles. 1 mole of sodium contains 23 g
Hence 89.2 g = 89.2 / 23 g = 3.878 moles
Therefore, 3.878 × 6.02×10∧23 particles= 23.346 × 10∧23 particles
Hence 89.2 g of sodium contains 2.335 ×10∧24 particles
