Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.36 x 10²³ atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

number of atoms = ?

mass of the sample = 34.2 g

Molecule = Cl₂O₅

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Cl₂O₅

Cl₂O₅ = (35.5 x 2) + (16 x 5) = 71 + 80 = 151 g

2.- Calculate the atoms of Cl₂O₅

151 g of Cl₂O₅ ---------------- 6 .023 x 10²³ atoms

34.2 g of Cl₂O₅ ------------ x

x = (34.2 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 151

x = 1.36 x 10²³ atoms
