Question

How many atoms in each elemental sample?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.9 × 10²⁴ atoms Cu; 3.3 × 10²¹ atoms C; 1.44 × 10²⁵ atoms Hg; 9.63 × 10²² atoms Na

Explanation:

To convert moles to atoms, we need a conversion factor: Avogadro's number. There are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms in 1 mole of atoms.

4.9 mol Cu × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms Cu/1 mol Cu = 2.9 × 10²⁴ atoms Cu

5.4 × 10⁻³ mol C × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms C/1 mol C = 3.3 × 10²¹ atoms C

24.0 mol Hg × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms Hg/1 mol Hg = 1.44 × 10²⁵ atoms Hg

0.160 mol Na × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms Na/1 mol Na = 9.63 × 10²² atoms Na
