Question

How many atoms are in 15.1g of potassium?

Answer 1

2.32 x10^23 atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

15.1/39.10 x (6.02 x10^23)

= 2.32 x10^23 atoms

First, you divide 15.1 g of potassium by its molar mass. (Molar mass of potassium is 39.10 g). Then you multiply using Avogadro's number (6.02 x10^23) to get your answer.
