Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

85 g AgNO₃ (silver nitrate)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Ag - 107.87 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of AgNO₃ - 107.87 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 169.88 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 85 \ g \ AgNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ AgNO_3}{169.88 \ g \ AgNO_3})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ AgNO_3}{1 \ mol \ AgNO_3})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 3.01313 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ AgNO_3$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

3.01313 × 10²³ molecules AgNO₃ ≈ 3.0 × 10²³ molecules AgNO₃
