Which equivalence factor should you use to convert from 4.28 x 1019 molecules of oxygen (O2) to moles of O2? (1 mol O2/4.28 x 1019 molecules O2) (4.28 x 1019 molecules O2/1 mol O2) (1 mol O2/6.02 x 1023 molecules O2) (6.02 x 1023 molecules O2/1 mol O2)

Respuesta :

The answer is:  [C]:  " (1 mol O₂/6.02 × 10²³ molecules O₂) " .

Answer:

The equivalence factor is [tex]\frac{1 mole}{6.023*10^{23} molecules}[/tex]

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023 * 10²³ particles per mole. The Avogadro number applies to any substance.

A rule of three can be applied as follows: is 6,023 * 10²³ molecules are contained in 1 mole, 4.28*10¹⁹ molecules in how many moles will be contained?

[tex]moles=4.28*10^{19} molecules*\frac{1 mole}{6.023*10^{23} molecules}[/tex]

moles=7.106*10⁻⁵

So, the equivalence factor is [tex]\frac{1 mole}{6.023*10^{23} molecules}[/tex]
