Question #29955

find the number of representative particles in 2.50 moles of iron.

Expert's answer

In chemistry and physics, the Avogadro constant (symbols: L, NA) is defined as the number of constituent particles (usually atoms or molecules) in one mole of a given substance. It has dimensions of reciprocal mol and its value is equal to 6.02214129×1023 mol16.02214129 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}. Changes in the SI units are proposed that will change the constant to exactly 6.02214×10236.02214 \times 10^{23} when it is expressed in the unit mol1\mathrm{mol}^{-1}

So if it is 2.50mol2.50\mathrm{mol} of iron, the number of particles is next:


N=NA×n,where\mathrm{N} = \mathrm{NA} \times \mathrm{n}, \text{where}


n is amount

NA is Avogadro constant

N is number of particles, so


N=NA×n=6.02214×1023×2.50=1.50554×1024\mathrm{N} = \mathrm{NA} \times \mathrm{n} = 6.02214 \times 10^{23} \times 2.50 = 1.50554 \times 10^{24}
