Question

How many molecules are there in 237 grams of CCl4

Answer 1

Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

237g CCl4 (1 mol / 153.81 g ) (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / 1 mol ) = 9.28x10^23 molecules
