Critical item 3:
(NA = 6.022 x 1023 mol-1)
1 How many molecules are there in 15.0 mole of ethane?
answer
2 Calculate the number of molecules there are in 45.0 grams of ethane (C2H6). answer
3 What is the mass of 1.80 x 1026 atoms of iron?
answer
N = NA n NA = 6.022 x 1023 mol-1
N = 6.022 x 1023 mol-1 x 15.0 mol
N = 9.03 x 1024 (molecules)
(M stands for molar mass.)
M = m / n
M(C2H6) = 30.0 g mol-1
30.0 g mol-1 = 45.0 g / n
m = 1.50 mol
N = NA n NA = 6.022 x 1023 mol-1
N = 6.022 x 1023 mol-1 x 1.50 mol
N = 9.03 x 1023 (molecules)
16.7 kg
