Answer:

5.399772727e22 atoms/particles or 5.39 x 10^22 atoms/particles

Step-by-step explanation:

so to convert you’re going to convert grams to moles and moles to atoms/particles:

grams to moles:

23g CF4 x 1 mol

———— = 0.26136 mol

88g (molar mass of CF4)

moles to atoms/particles:

[2.066 • 10^23 is avogadro's number and is always used to convert to atoms/particles]

0.26136 mol x 2.066 • 10^23

———————

1 mol

this gives you 5.399772727e22 atoms/particles

so 5.399772727e22 atoms/particles or 5.39 x 10^22 atoms/particles for scientific notation

hope this helps :)
