Answer: 5.3 x 10^24 formula units of silver nitrate is equivalent to 8.8 moles of silver nitrate. Silver nitrate is an ionic compound, therefore, its representative particle is called a "formula unit" instead of molecule. For every mole of a substance, we know that there are 6.022 x 10^23 representative units of that substance. The amount of particles in one mole of substance is called Avogadro's number.

Further Explanation:

We can convert from number of representative particles to moles using the formula:

$\boxed {no. \ of \ moles \ = \ ( given \ no. \ of \ particles) \ (\frac{1 \ mole}{\ 6.022 \ x 10^{23} particles})}$

For this problem, we can calculate the number of moles by plugging in the given values to the equation above,

$no. \ of \ moles \ = (5.3 \ x \ 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ AgNO_{3}) \ (\frac{1 \ mole \ AgNO_{3}}{6.022 \ x 10^{23} \ formula \ units AgNO_{3}}) \\\\\boxed {no. \ of moles \ AgNO_{3} \ = \ 8.8 \ moles}$

What type of reaction occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant?

ratelena [41]

The type of reaction that occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor in a power plant is the fission reaction where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller nucleus. Along with this splitting, high amounts of energy is being produced. This energy is used to supply power to people.
