Question

A fishing line sinker contains 0.650 moles of lead. How many atoms of lead are in the sinker? Show all of your work, including starting quantity, conversion factor, and units.

Answer 1

3.91x10²³ atoms of lead

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, a mole of a substance is defined as 6.022x10²³ particles that could be atoms, molecules, ions, etc.

As you can see, in the problem, you have 0.650moles of lead in a fishing line sinker, the present atoms are:

`0.650mol Pb (6.022x10^(23)atoms)/(1mol)` = 3.91x10²³ atoms of lead
