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.
