The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are  19.3 × 10^23 molecules.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

mass of calcium phosphate (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = 125.3 grams

We know;

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = (40×3) + 3 (31 +(4×16))

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} ) = 120 + 3(95)

molar mass of calcium phosphate  (Ca_{3}(PO_{4} )_{2} )  = 120 +285 = 405 grams

<em>We also know;</em>

No of molecules at STP conditions(N_{A}) = 6.023 × 10^23 molecules

To solve:

no of molecules present in the sample(N)

We know;

\frac{m}{M} =\frac{N} }{}N÷N_{A}

\frac{405}{125.3} =\frac{N}{6.023*10^23}

N =(405×6.023 × 10^23) ÷ 125.3

N = 19.3 × 10^23 molecules

<u><em>Therefore number of molecules(N) present in the calcium phosphate sample are  19.3 × 10^23 molecules</em></u>

How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of CH3FO?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

1 mole of a substance contains Avagadro’s number of particles,

i.e. 6.023*10^23

By unitary method,

5 moles of oxygen contains 5 times the Avagadro’s number of particles

i.e. 5* (6.023*10^23) = 3.0115*10^24 number of particles.

Now, the further answer depends on what particles the question concentrates on.

If number of atoms are asked , the above answer must be multiplied by 2, because oxygen is a diatomic gas and each atom contributes to be a particle.

therefore, 5 moles of oxygen has 6.023*10^24 atoms.

If number of molecules asked, the above answer is directly written...
