Entropy by the modern definition is the amount of energy dispersal in a system. Therefore, the system entropy will increase when the amount of motion within the system increases. For example, the entropy increases when ice (solid) melts to give water (liquid). It will even increase more when water is evaporated to steam (gas).

How many total oxygen atoms are in the compound Molybdenum (V) Dichromate?

alekssr [168]

Answer:

$1.2646\times10^{25}\ atoms$

Explanation:

-The chemical formula for Molybdenum (V) Dichromate is $Mo(Cr_2O_7)_3$

-There are 21 moles of oxygen per one mole of Molybdenum (V) Dichromate

-We apply Avogadro's constant to find the number of atoms of oxygen:

$Avogadro's \ Constant=6.022\times 10^{23} \ mol_1\\\\No\ of \ Atoms=Moles\times Avogadro's \ Constant\\\\=21\times 6.022\times 10^{23} \\\\=1.2646\times10^{25}\ atoms$
