The number of formula units of CaCo₃ that are present in 4.72 moles calcium carbonate is 2.841 x 10²⁴


calculation

The number of formula units is calculated using the Avogadro's constant

That is according to Avogadro's law

1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³ formula units

4.72 moles=? formula units

by cross multiplication

=[ (4.72 moles x 6.02 x 10²³ formula units) / 1 mole = 2.841 x 10²⁴ formula units
