Only one side of the Moon is visible from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that the Moon orbits the Earth – a situation known as synchronous rotation, or tidal locking. The Moon is directly illuminated by the Sun, and the cyclically varying viewing conditions cause the lunar phases.

A canister of neon contains 4.8x1024 atoms of the gas. How many moles of neon are present in the canister?

algol [13]

Answer:

7.97 moles of neon are present in the canister.

Explanation:

Avogadro's constant or "Avogadro's number" is the number of constituent particles found in the amount of substance in one mole.

In other words, Avogadro's number is the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

So, you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023*10²³ atoms are present in 1 mole, 4.8*10²⁴ atoms are present in how many moles?

$amount of moles=\frac{4.8*10^{24}atoms*1 mole }{6.023*10^{23}atoms}$
