The number of molecules= 3.55 x 10²⁴
Given
5.9 moles of NaCl
Required
The number of molecules
Solution
The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance
1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles
Can be formulated
N=n x No
N = number of particles
n = mol
No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³
So for 5.9 moles :
= 5.9 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 3.55 x 10²⁴
