Which has more number of atoms?
100g of N2 or 100 g of NH3?
The number of atoms =
⇒ N = × N0
The number of molecules in 100g of N2:
Atomic mass of nitrogen (N) = 14
Molar mass of N2 molecules = 14x2 = 28g
Number of atoms in N2 = 1 + 1 = 2
= 2 X = 43.01X 1023
The number of molecules in 100g of NH3:
Molar mass of NH3 molecules = 14+3X1 = 17g
number of atoms in NH3 = 1 + 3 = 4
= 4 X
Therefore, NH3 would have more atoms.
