Since the mass of a single popcorn kernel is not given, lets us assume that it is 1 gram
Now:
1 mole of popcorn kernels contain [tex]6.023 * 10^{23}[/tex] kernels
Since:
1 kernel weighs 1 gram
Then,
[tex]1 mole = 6.023 *10^{23}[/tex] kernels would weigh [tex]6.023 * 10^{23}[/tex] grams
Answer:
[tex]m=7.0106x10^22g[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case we must take into account that the average mass of a dozen popcorn kernels is 1.416 g, therefore, the average mass of one popcorn kernel is:
[tex]m=1.416g/12=0.118g[/tex]
Now, we also know that one mole of popcorn kernels has 6.022x10²³ popcorn kernels, therefore the mass of one mole of popcorn kernels is computed as shown below:
[tex]m=1mol*\frac{6.022x10^{23}popcorn \ kernels }{1mol}*\frac{0.118g}{1popcorn\ kernels} \\m=7.0106x10^22g[/tex]
Best regards.
