Answer:
1.58× 10²² atoms of Au
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of gold = 5.18 g
Number of atoms of gold = ?
Solution:
First of all we will calculate the number of moles of gold.
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 5.18 g/196.96 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.0263 mol
Number of atoms:
Avogadro number.
It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.
The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of Au
0.0263 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of Au / 1mol
0.158× 10²³ atoms of Au
1.58× 10²² atoms of Au
