(125 mg Na) x (1 g/1000mg) x (1 mol of Na/22.99 g) = 5.43 E -3 mols of Na
5.43 E -3 mols x 6.022 E 23 = 3.27 E 21 Na atoms
Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.
Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.
Mass to mass: moles A x(mole ratio of B/A) and mass to mole: extract the data from the question
Set up your units to algebraically cancel out the original unit, and end up with the units of the answer in the final numerator. We'll first convert to moles by using Avogadro's number, then the atomic mass of tungsten (W) from the periodic table, since the mass, in grams, of one mole of any element is the atomic mass number:
2.1x10∧24 atoms W x (1 mole/6.022x10∧23 atoms) x (183.84g/1 mole) = 641.089 grams
Since your given number has only two significant figures (2.1), your answer should also only express in 2 sig figs: 6.4x10∧2 grams
