Question

Calculate the number of moles of Californium represented by 5.92 x 1024 atoms of Californium. Enter your answer in the provided box. mol Cf

Answer 1

9.834 moles Cf.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of moles of a substance is an easy way to represents its amount. Avogadro has determined that the total amount in 1 mol is equal to 6.02x10²³(Avgadros' number), so 1 mol has 6.02x10²³ atoms, molecules, ions, or what we are measuring. So:

1 mol of Cf -------------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms

x -------------------- 5.92x10²⁴

By a simple direct three rule:

6.02x10²³x = 5.92x10²⁴

x = 5.92x10²⁴/6.02x10²³

x = 9.834 moles Cf
