How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 1.2x10^25 diphosphorus pentoxide molecules
1 answer:
Answer:
19.9 atoms
Explanation:
Grams --- Moles --- Atoms
You're converting from atoms (molecules) to moles.
You do not have to calculate the mass of "di phosphorus pentoxide."
Since you're already given 1.2x10^25 atoms, you start with that. You need to cancel out the atoms, so you need Avogadro's number as shown in the image.
(This has nothing to do with the problem) But in case if you're wondering, the "di" in phosphorus means there's 2 phosphorus and the "pent" means that there are 5 oxygens. So P2O5. Go to your periodic table, multiply their respective atomic masses. You would multiply phosphorus twice and oxygen 5 times. And add them up to get the overall mass.
I hope this helped!

solution:
You need to find the frequency, and they have already given you the wavelength. And since you already know the speed of light, you can use formula (2) to answer this problem. Remember to convert the nano meters to meters because the speed of light is in meters.
