Answer:
1.96 × 10²⁴ molecules
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Mass of ethanol (m): 150. g
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles (n) corresponding to 150. g of ethanol
The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol.
150. g × 1 mol/46.07 g = 3.26 mol
Step 3: Calculate the number of molecules in 3.26 moles of ethanol
To convert moles into molecules, we need Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
3.26 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/1 mol = 1.96 × 10²⁴ molecules
