Question

How many molecules are in 0.400 moles of. N2O5?

Answer 1

2.40 × 10²³ Molecules of N₂O₅

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (also called as Avogadro's Number). Therefore, the relation between moles and number of particles can be written as,

Moles = Number of Particles ÷ 6.022 ×10²³ Particles.mol⁻¹

For the molecules of Dinitrogen pentoxide (N₂O₅) it can be written as,

Moles = Number of Molecules ÷ 6.022 ×10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Rearranging for Number of Molecules,

Number of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 ×10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Putting value of Moles,

Number of Molecules = 0.400 mol × 6.022 ×10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Number of Molecules = 2.40 × 10²³ Molecules of N₂O₅
