Answer to Question #232500 in Chemistry for arissa

Question

Calculate the number of atoms of 4.55 x 10 23 molecules of sulfur dioxide.

Answer 1

Solution:

Sulfur dioxide = SO₂

Each molecule of SO₂ has one atom of S and two atoms of O.

Therefore,

4.55×10²³ molecules of SO₂ has 4.55×10²³ atoms of S and 2×4.55×10²³ = 9.10×10²³ atoms of O.

Answer:

4.55×10²³ atoms of S

9.10×10²³ atoms of O
