Question

How many water molecules are in a block of ice containing 0.500 mol of water (H2O)?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.01 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of water (n): 0.500 mol

Step 2: Calculate the molecules of water present in 0.500 moles of water

In order to perform this calculation, we will use the Avogadro's number: in 1 mole of water there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of water.

0.500 mol × (6.02 × 10²³ molecules/1 mol) = 3.01 × 10²³ molecules
