“The most obvious similarity is that the result is the same: Both ionic and covalent bonding lead to the creation of stable molecules. The reactions that create ionic and covalent bonds are exothermic because elements bond together to lower their potential energy.”

For the mineral torbernite, Cu(UO2)2(PO4)2⋅8H2O, determine the total number of atoms in one formula unit

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

$2.47x10^{25}atoms$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the mineral torbernite has one copper atom, two uranium atoms, twenty oxygen atoms (2x2+4x2+8), two phosphorous atoms and sixteen hydrogen atoms (12x2) and therefore forty one in total, by using the Avogadro's number one is able to compute the total number of atoms in one formula unit or one mole:

$Atoms=1molCu(UO_2)_2(PO_4)_2\dot \ 8H_2O*\frac{41mol\ of \ atoms}{1molCu(UO_2)_2(PO_4)_2\dot \ 8H_2O}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms}{1mol\ of \ atoms} \\\\=2.47x10^{25}atoms$

Best regards.
