Question

9.69×10^25 formula units of iron(III) nitrate is equal to how many moles of Fe(NO3)3?

Answer 1

160.9 mol ≅ 161.0 mol.

Step-by-step explanation:

• It is known that every 1.0 mole of compound or element contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules or atoms (formula units).

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains → 6.022 x 10²³ formula units.

??? mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains → 9.69 x 10²⁵ formula units.

∴ The no. of moles of He contains (9.69 x 10²⁵ formula units) = (1.0 mol)(9.69 x 10²⁵ formula units.)/(6.022 x 10²³ formula units) = 160.9 mol ≅ 161.0 mol.
