Answer:
6.624× 10²³ molecules
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of KOH = 60 g
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
First of all we will calculate the number of moles.
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 60 g/ 56.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.1 mol
Now number of molecules are determine by using Avogadro number.
1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules
1.1 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1mol
6.624× 10²³ molecules
Avogadro number:
It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.
The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
For example,
18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water
1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen
