Description of the experiment

1. You must have a piece of chalk and record the weight before writing the name.

2. You write the name Valeria on a blackboard.

3. You record the weight of the chalk last, after writing the name.

Calculations:

The variables will be:

Initial mass=Mo

Final mass = Mf

Mass of chalk used=M


M=M_f-M_o

We must calculate the moles of chalk used. Since chalk is CaCO3 and its molar weight is 100.1g/mol, the moles of CaCO3 will be:


molCaCO_3=(M)/(100.1g/mol)

The number of atoms must be found with Avogadro's number, we will have to:


NumberofAtoms=molCaCO3*6.022*10^(23)atoms/mol

That is the description of how you should do the experiment and the calculations to find the number of atoms
