Question #ccd7d

1 Answer

The equation to solve this problem is as follows:

#Na# (#"number of atoms"/"particles"#) =

#n# (#"no." "of moles")# #*# #"N(Avogadro's number)"#

In your example, you would sub in 1 mole into n, then sub in Avogadro's number as such:

#Na# = #(1" mol")*(6.02x10^23)#
#Na# = #6.02 * 10^23#

Now, because you know that there is 3 times as many chlorine atoms "Cl3”, you multiply this number by 3:

#(6.02 x 10^23)*(3)# = #1.81 x 10^24 " atoms"#

Hope this helps! :)
