Question

How many molecules are in 2.5 mol of NaCl?

Answer 1

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
