Calculate the number of moles in:

i) 12.046 x 1023 atoms of Copper


ii) 27.95g of Iron


iii) 1.51 x 1023molecules of CO2

we know that to find the number of moles, the following formulae are used:






(i) Using formula 3,



So, 2 moles of copper contain 12.046 x 1023 atoms of copper.


(ii) Using formula 1,



So, 0.5 moles consist of 27.95 grams of iron.


(iii) Using formula 4,



So, 0.25 moles of CO2 consists of 1.51 x 1023 molecules.


Note:


1. If a compound or molecular substance is taken, like CO2, N2 etc, then 1


a mole of the substance contains Avogadro number of molecules. 1 mole contains the mass equal to the molecular weight of the substance.


2. If an element is taken like C, S, Fe, then 1 mole contains Avogadro


number of atoms. 1 mole contains the mass equal to the atomic weight of the substance.
