Question

How many total atoms are in 0.560 g of P2O5

Answer 1

16.499 × 10∧ 21 atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

mass of P2O5= 0.560 g

number of atoms= ?

first of all we will calculate the molar mass of P2O5:

P = 2×31 g/mol = 62 g/mol

O = 5× 16 = 80 g/mol

molar mass of P2O5 = 142 g/mol

Noe we will find the moles of 0.560 g P2O5:

moles = mass / molar mass

moles = 0.560 g/ 142 g/mol

moles = 0.0039 mol

now we will find the atoms present in 0.0039 moles:

0.0039 × 6.02 × 10∧ 23 molecules

2.357 × 10∧ 21 molecules

P2O5 consist of 7 atoms:

2.357 × 10∧ 21 × 7 = 16.499 × 10∧ 21 atoms
