Question

How many atoms of gold are in gold nugget with a mass of 4.25 g

Answer 1

Answer:

1.299 * 10^22

Explanation:

Answer 2

Number of Atoms in Gold for given mass can be calculated using following formula,

              # of Moles  =  Number of Atoms / 6.022 × 10²³
Or,
             Number of Atoms  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³     ------- (1)    

Calculating Moles,
As,
                              Moles  =  Mass / M.mass
So,
                              Moles  =  4.25 g / 196.96 g/mol

                              Moles  =  0.0215

Putting value of mole in eq.1,

             Number of Atoms  =  0.0215 × 6.022 × 10²³

             Number of Atoms  =  1.299 × 10²²

Result:
            4.25 g of Gold Nugget contains 1.299 × 10²² Atoms.
