Question

How many molecules are there in 840 grams of na2SO4

Answer 1

Answer:

3.56x10^24 molecules

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of Na2SO4 = 840g

Molar Mass of Na2SO4 = (23 x2) + 32 + (16x4) =46 + 12 + 64 = 142g/mol

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This also gives that 1mole of Na2SO4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

If 1 mole (i.e 142g) contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Therefore, 840g of Na2SO4 will contain = (840 x 6.02x10^23)/142 = 3.56x10^24 molecules
