Question

How many atoms are in 100.0 grams of neon, Ne?

Answer 1

2.894 x 10²⁴ atoms Ne

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of neon atoms, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (using the atomic mass) and then (2) convert moles to atoms (using Avogadro's Number). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator of the ratios in this case). The final answer should have 4 sig figs like the given value (100.0 = 4 sig figs).

Atomic Mass (Ne): 20.180 g/mol

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ atoms = 1 mole

100.0 g Ne 1 mole 6.022 x 10²³ atoms
-------------------- x ----------------- x ------------------------------- = 2.894 x 10²⁴ atoms
20.180 g 1 mole

Answer 2

Answer: 20.179 grams

I had to do a project on this recently, so here is your answer!
