Question

What is the total number of atoms in 0.20 mol of propanone, CH3COCH3?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.2×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mole of propanone = 0.20 mole

Number of atoms of propanone =.?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

This implies that 1 mole of propanone also contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

Thus, we can obtain the number of atoms in 0.20 mole of propanone as illustrated below:

1 mole of propanone contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 0.20 mole of propanone will contain = 0.2 × 6.022×10²³ = 1.2×10²³ atoms.

Thus, 0.20 mole of propanone contain

1.2×10²³ atoms.
