Explanation:
We are asked to find how many moles are in 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms. We convert atoms to moles using Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of fluorine.
We will convert using dimensional analysis and set up a ratio using Avogadro's Number.
We are converting 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms to moles, so we multiply the ratio by this number.
Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of fluorine cancel each other out.
Condense into 1 fraction.
Divide.
The original measurement of atoms has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredths place. The 7 in the thousandths tells us to round the 9 in the hundredths place up to a 0. Then, we also have to round the 7 in the tenths place up to an 8.
4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms are equal to <u>0.80 moles of fluorine.</u>
Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%.
So first, we take our measured value, .299 cm, minus our known value, .225 cm.
.299 cm - .225 cm=.004 cm
Next, we divide that by our known value
Finally, multiply your answer by 100
.0177777778 x 100= 1.77777778 %
Round to three significant figures, and you're done.
=1.78 % error
