Zinc is used to form a corrosion inhibiting surface on galvanized steel. Determine the number of Zn atoms in 2.50 mol of Zn

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.505x10^24 atoms

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

From the above hypothesis, it became clear that 1 mole of Zn also contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

Now, if 1 mole of Zn contains 6.02x10^23 atoms,

then 2.5 moles of Zn will contain = 2.5 x 6.02x10^23 = 1.505x10^24 atoms

Therefore, 2.5 moles of Zn contains 1.505x10^24 atoms

The number of Zn atoms in 2.50 moles of Zn is equal to [tex]1.505 \times 10^{24} [/tex] atoms.

To calculate the number of atoms present in a given amount of moles, it is necessary to use Avogadro's constant:

                                 1 mole =  [tex]6\times 10^{23} [/tex] atoms

So, in 1 mole of a substance we have [tex]6\times 10^{23} [/tex] atoms, having said that we can do the following calculation:

                                              [tex]2.50 \times 6\times 10^{23^}[/tex]

                                      [tex]= 1.5 \times 10^{24}[/tex] atoms of Zn

In this way, the number of Zn atoms in 2.50 moles of Zn is equal to [tex]1.505 \times 10^{24} [/tex] atoms.
