Answer:
1.51 x 10²⁴molecules
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of NaCl = 2.5moles
Unknown:
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
The number of molecules that can be found in a given mole is given as the Avogadro's constant;
1 mole of substance = 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
2.5 mole of NaCl = 2.5 x 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
= 1.51 x 10²⁴molecules
Most of the elements important in biology need eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to be stable, and this rule of thumb is known as the octet rule. Some atoms can be stable with an octet even though their valence shell is the 3n shell, which can hold up to 18 electrons.
Using the formula density = mass ÷ volume, I got my answer as 10g/cm^3 or 10g/mL
The properties of matter can best be explained using a model in which all materials are composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules and ions). There is empty space between particles and particles are constantly moving (their speed is changed by temperature).
