Question

How many moles of hydrogen atoms are there in 1.25 x 1025 molecules of ethane? (C2H6)

Answer 1

Answer:

124.56 moles of Hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of moles of ethane that contains 1.25×10²⁵ molecules. This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10²³ molecules. This implies that 1 mole of ethane also contains 6.02x10²³ molecules.

Thus, 6.02x10²³ molecules are present in 1 mole of ethane.

Therefore, 1.25×10²⁵ molecules are present in = 1.25×10²⁵/6.02x10²³ = 20.76

Therefore, 20.76 moles of ethane contains 1.25×10²⁵ molecules.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of Hydrogen in 20.76 moles of ethane. This can be obtained as follow:

Ethane has formula as C2H6.

From the formula, 1 mole of ethane, C2H6 contains 6 moles of Hydrogen atoms.

Therefore, 20.76 moles of ethane will contain = 20.76 × 6 = 124.56 moles of Hydrogen atoms.

Therefore, 1.25×10²⁵ molecules of ethane contains 124.56 moles of Hydrogen atoms.
