Question

How many moles of chlorine (Cl) atoms are in a sample of 1.72 × 1022 atoms?

a. 0.0286 mol Cl
b. 35.0 mol Cl
c. 1.03 × 1023 mol Cl
d. 1.04 × 1046 mol Cl

Answer 1

0.0286 mol Cl

Step-by-step explanation:

to convert atoms to moles, we need Avogadro's number.

1 mol= 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

1.72 x 10^22 atoms (1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23)= 0.0286 moles
