Question

Five moles of sulfur dioxide, soz, would consist of how many molecules? molecules Need Help?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 x 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

A mole is just a name that we use to substitute a number, just like a dozen means 12, a mole means 6.022 x 10²³. This gives us the unit conversion of 6.022 x 10²³ molecules SO₂/1 mol SO₂.

$5molSO2*\frac{6.022 x 10^2^3molecules}{1mol SO2} = 3.011 x 10^2^4moleculesSO2$

Round to the lowest number of significant figures to get 3 x 10²⁴ molecules SO₂
