Answer:
The pH of a solution is simply a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions,
H
+
, which you'll often see referred to as hydronium cations,
H
3
O
+
.
More specifically, the pH of the solution is calculated using the negative log base
10
of the concentration of the hydronium cations.

Now, we use the negative log base
10
because the concentration of hydronium cations is usually significantly smaller than
1
.
As you know, every increase in the value of a log function corresponds to one order of magnitude.
Explanation:
1 mol of any particles has 6.02 * 10 ²³ particles.
If we look at 1 NH3 (1 mol NH3 or 1 molecule NH3), we can see that 1 molecule NH3 has 1 atom of N and 3 atoms of H; also 1 mole of NH3 has 1 mole of N atoms and 3 moles of H atoms.
So, 1 mol of NH3 has 1 mol of N atoms,
and 2.79 mol NH3 have 2.79 mol of N atoms.
2.79 mol of N atoms* 6.02 * 10 ²³ N atoms/ 1 mol N atoms = 1.68*10²⁴ N-atoms
Answer is 1.68*10²⁴ N-atoms.
