Answer:
1.49×10²² atoms of H are contained in the sample
Explanation:
TNT → C₇H₅N₃O₆
1 mol of this has 7 moles of C, 5 moles of H, 3 moles of N and 6 moles of O
Let's determine the mass of TNT.
Molar mass is = 227 g/mol
As 1 mol has (6.02×10²³) NA atoms, how many moles are 8.94×10²¹ atoms.
8.94×10²¹ atoms / NA = 0.0148 moles
So this would be the rule of three to determine the mass of TNT
3 moles of N are in 227 g of compound
0.0148 moles of N are contained in (0.0148 .227) / 3 = 1.12 g
Now we can work with the hydrogen.
227 grams of TNT contain 5 moles of H
1.12 grams of TNT would contain (1.12 .5) / 227 = 0.0247 moles
Finally let's convert this moles to atoms:
0.0247 mol . 6.02×10²³ atoms / 1 mol = 1.49×10²² atoms
