Answer:
a) 0.1783 mol
b) 1.07*10^23 atoms
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of gold (Au) = 35.12 grams
Molar mass of gold (Au) = 196.97 g/mol
Number of Avogadro = 6.022 *10^23 /mol
Step 2: Calculate number of moles gold
Number of moles = Mass of gold / molar mass of golf
Number of moles = 35.12 grams / 196.97 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.1783 moles
Step 3: Calculate number of atoms of gold
Number of atoms = number of moles * Number of Avogadro
Number of atoms = 0.1783 * 6.022 *10^23/ mol
Number of atoms = 1.07*10^23 atoms
