Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.56 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Lithium = 3.4 x 10²³ particles

the number of moles = ?

Process

Use proportions and cross multiplication to find the answer. Remember that a mole of each substance equals 6.023 x 10²³ particles.

1 mol of Li ----------------- 6.023 x 10²³ particles

x ---------------- 3.4 x 10²³ particles

x = (3.4 x 10²³ x 1) / 6.023 x 10²³

x = 3.4 x 10²³ / 6.023 x 10²³

x = 0.56 moles
