Answer:
4.05 × 10²² atoms
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Mass of nickel: 3.95 g
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 3.95 g of nickel
The molar mass of nickel is 58.69 g/mol.
3.95 g × (1 mol/58.69 g) = 0.0673 mol
Step 3: Calculate the atoms in 0.0673 moles of nickel
We will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of nickel in 1 mole of atoms of nickel.
0.0673 mol × (6.02 × 10²³ atoms/1 mol) = 4.05 × 10²² atoms
