Avogadro Number Calculations II


How Many Atoms or Molecules?
Answers

Here are the procedure steps:

Here are the first four problems:

1) Calculate the number of molecules in 1.058 mole of H2O

2) Calculate the number of atoms in 0.750 mole of Fe

3) Calculate the number of molecules in 1.058 gram of H2O

4) Calculate the number of atoms in 0.750 gram of Fe


Now the solutions:

1.058 mole x 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mole

0.750 mole x 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mole

(1.058 gram divided by 18.0 g/mol) x 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mole

(0.750 gram divided by 55.85 g/mole) x 6.022 x 1023atoms/mole


5) Basically, this is just two two-step problems in one sentence. Convert each gram value to its mole equivalent. Then, multiply the mole value by Avogadro's Number. Finally, compare these last two values and pick the larger value. That is the one with more molecules.

6) Ammonia's formula is NH3 and water's is H2O. Ammonia has three atoms of H per molecule and water has two atoms of H per molecule.

ammonia's contribution:

8.10 x 1024 times 3 = 2.43 x 1025 H atoms

water's contribution:

2.10 x 1025 times 2 = 4.20 x 1025 H atoms

sum them up:

2.43 x 1025 + 4.20 x 1025 = 6.63 x 1025 H atoms
