Question

What is the number of
nitrogen atoms in 12.0 g of
CO(NH2)?
[Avogadro constant = 6.02
x 1023 moll; Molar mass of
CO(NH2) = 60 g mol']​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.2 x 10²³atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of CO(NH₂)  = 12g

Unknown:

Number of Nitrogen atoms = ?

Solution:

Given compound;

     CO(NH₂);

  In;

         1 mole of CO(NH₂), we have 1 mole of N

let us find the number of moles of CO(NH₂);

  Number of moles  = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

  Number of moles  = $\frac{12}{60}$   = 0.2moles

Since

                  1 mole of CO(NH₂), we have 1 mole of N

                0.2 mole of CO(NH₂) will have 0.2mole of N

            1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

           0.2 mole of N will contain 0.2 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms = 1.2 x 10²³atoms
