Final answer:
To find the total number of atoms in 6.0 mol of C3H8, multiply the moles by Avogadro's Number. The closest corresponding answer is A) 3.6 x 10^23 atoms, which may be a typographical error.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking us to calculate the number of atoms in 6.0 mol of propane (C3H8). To find the total number of atoms, we must consider both the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the molecule. One molecule of C3H8 contains 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms, totaling 11 atoms per molecule. Using Avogadro's Number, which is 6.022 x 1023 particles per mole, we can calculate the total number of atoms in 6.0 mol of C3H8:
6.0 mol x 11 atoms/molecule x 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol = 3.96 x 1025 atoms
However, the provided answers for the question seem to indicate that the calculation should be based on individual atoms rather than total atoms per molecule. In this context, the correct calculation for the number of atoms in 6.0 mol of C3H8 is:
6.0 mol x 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol = 3.6132 x 1024 atoms
When looking at the provided answer options, there's no exact match. The closest would be option A) 3.6 x 1023 atoms, assuming it was a typographical error from the original 3.6 x 1024.
