Answer:

3.97 x 10²³atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ammonia = 11.22g

Unknown:

Chemical amount of ammonia present = ?

Solution:

The chemical amount present in a substance is the number of atoms it contains.

To solve this problem, from the given mass find the number of moles first.

Number of moles =
(mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles =
(11.22)/(17) = 0.66mole

1 mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

0.66 mole of ammonia will contain 0.66 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

= 3.97 x 10²³atoms
