Answer:

The answer to your question is 4.07 x 10²² atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Get the molecular weight of Cocaine hydrochloride

C = 12 x 17 = 204 g

H = 22 x 1 = 22 g

Cl = 36 x 1 = 36 g

N = 14 x 1 = 14 g

O = 16 x 4 = 64 g

Molecular mass = 340 g

2.- Calculate the moles of the mass given

340 g ------------------- 1 mol

23 g ------------------- x

x = (23 x 1) / 340

x = 0.068 moles of Cocaine

3.- Calculate the atoms

1 mol -------------------- 6 .023 x 10 ²³ atoms

0.068 moles ------------- x

x = (0.068 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 1

x = 4.07 x 10²² atoms
