Answer:
1.57×10²³ molecules
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Number of molecules of ethanol = ?
Volume of ethanol = 15.0 mL
Density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL
Solution:
Mass of ethanol :
Density = mass/ volume
0.789 g/mL = mass/ 15.0 mL
Mass = 0.789 g/mL× 15.0 mL
Mass = 11.84 g
Number of moles of ethanol:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 11.84 g / 46.07 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.26 mol
1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ molecules
0.26 mol × 6.022×10²³ molecules / 1mol
1.57×10²³ molecules
