Question

(d) Calculate the number of moles of O atoms in 3.5×1024 molecules of Al2(SO4)3

please help!!!

Answer 1

The chemical formula of aluminum sulfate is Al2(SO4)3.

The formula shows that there are 3 atoms of oxygen (O) in each molecule of Al2(SO4)3.

Number of molecules of Al2(SO4)3 = 3.5×1024

Number of O atoms in 1 molecule of Al2(SO4)3 = 3

Number of O atoms in 3.5×1024 molecules of Al2(SO4)3 = (3.5×1024) x 3

= 1.05×1025

Therefore, there are 1.05×1025 moles of O atoms in 3.5×1024 molecules of Al2(SO4)3.
