Question

A sample of hydrogen gas contains 4.8 x 1026 molecules of hydrogen. How many moles of hydrogen is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

797.34 moles of H₂

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of molecules of H₂ = 4.8×10²⁶ molecules

Number of mole of H₂ =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of H₂ = 6.02×10²³ molecules

With the above information, we can determine the number of mole of H₂ that contains 4.8×10²⁶ molecules as follow:

6.02×10²³ molecules = 1 mole of H₂

Therefore,

4.8×10²⁶ molecules = 4.8×10²⁶ / 6.02×10²³

4.8×10²⁶ molecules = 797.34 moles

Thus, 797.34 moles of H₂ contains 4.8×10²⁶ molecules.
