Answer:
1.95*10²² molecules are in 5.50 grams of AgNO₃
Explanation:
Being the molar mass of the elements:
- Ag: 107.87 g/mole
- N: 14 g/mole
- O: 16 g/mole
then the molar mass of the compound is:
AgNO₃: 107.87 g/mole + 14 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 169.87 g/mole
Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 169.87 grams of the compound are present in 1 mole, 5.50 grams will be present in how many moles?
[tex]moles=\frac{5.50 grams*1 mole}{169.87 grams}[/tex]
moles= 0.0324
Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.
You can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of Avogadro's Number 1 mole of the substance contains 6.023 * 10²³ molecules, 0.0324 moles how many molecules will it have?
[tex]molecules=\frac{0.0324 moles*6.023*10^{23} molecules}{1 mole}[/tex]
molecules=1.95*10²²
1.95*10²² molecules are in 5.50 grams of AgNO₃
