4. Numbers of Atoms Imagine a cube containing one mole of carbon atoms lined up in rows and columns. There would be approximately 84遜 million carbon atoms lined up along each side. 1.Work out what 84遜 million cubed is. If your calculator conks out, just try doing 84遜 cubed and then add a suitable number of zeros! Avogadros number, the number of atoms in one mole, is often given as 6.022 x 1023 mol-1. You can calculate the actual number of atoms simply by multiplying Avogadros number by 84遜 million atoms the number of moles: To type in Avogadros number to your scientific calculator, type in 6.022, Example 1 then press EXP and type in 23. 3. Calculate the number of Calculate the number of atoms in the following: atoms in 0.02 mol of iron. a) 0.016g of copper 23 number of atoms = 0.02 x 6.022 x 10 b) 9g of carbon = 1.204 x 1022 c) 0.001g of sulfur d) 0.12g of silver If the mass of substance is given, we have e) 80 tonnes of iron (1 tonne = 1000kg) to use the moles triangle to convert it into moles: 4. In 1999 a group of American scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology Example 2 claimed to have made the smallest ever Calculate the number of atoms in 0.0014g measurement of mass by using a carbon of iron. nanotube to weigh a speck of graphite. moles of iron = mass / RAM = 0.0014 / 56 = 2.5 x 10-5 mol number of atoms = 2.5 x 10-5 x 6.022 x 1023 = 1.506 x 1019 2. Calculate the number of atoms in the They estimated that the graphite weighed following: 22 femtograms. If 1 femtogram = 1 x 10-15 a) 0.05 moles of lead grams, calculate the number of carbon b) 8 moles of helium atoms in their speck. c) 1.5 moles of copper d) 0.0036 moles of magnesium 5. How many hydrogen atoms are there in e) 0.2 moles of any substance 180g of water, H2O? 6. How many oxygen atoms are there in 50g of hydrated copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4.5H2O?
