  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

42 mol Al

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

Step 3: Convert

  1. Set up:
    \displaystyle 42 \ mol \ Al((6.022 \cdot 10^(23) \ atoms \ Al)/(1 \ mol \ Al))
  2. Multiply/Divide:
    \displaystyle 2.52924 \cdot 10^(25) \ atoms \ Al

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

2.52924 × 10²³ atoms Al ≈ 2.5 × 10²³ atoms Al
