Question

Pyridine, C5H5N, is a polar organic solvent. How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine? 4.24 x 1024 4.24 x 10, 24 2.12 x 1024 2.12 x 10, 24 4.24 x 1023 4.24 x 10, 23 2.12 x 1025

Answer 1

Answer:

2.122×10^25atoms

Explanation:

number of moles=mass/molar mass

7.05moles= mass of pyridine/79

reacting mass of pyridine=556.95

C5H5N= (12×5)+(5)+(14)=79

C5=60

to find the mass of carbon in 556.95g of pyridine we take the stoichometric ratio

60[C5] -----> 79[C5H5N]

x[C5] --------> 556.95g[C5H5N]

cross multiply

x=(60×556.95)/79

x=423g of carbon

moles=mass/molar mass

moles of carbon=423/12

moles=35.25moles of carbon

moles=number of particles/Avogadro's constant

35.25=number of particles/6.02×10^23

number of particles=2.122×10^25atoms of carbon
