If a sample of nitrogen gas (N2) contains 3.0 x 10^24 atoms of nitrogen, then about how many moles of nitrogen gas are in the sample?

A. 5.0
B. 2.5
C. 3.0
D. 1.0

Respuesta :

The number of moles of nitrogen gas is  2.5 moles.

 

[tex]1 \ molecule of \ N_2 = 2\ atoms \ of N[/tex]

molecules= [tex]3.0\times10^{24} atoms[/tex]

According to Avogadro's  law :-

[tex]1\ mole=6.02\times10^{23} molecules[/tex]

So, to find the number of moles of gas we divide [tex]1.5 \times10^{24} molecules[/tex] by [tex]6.022 \times10^{23} molecules[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{1.5\times10^{24}\ molecules }{6.022\times10^{23}molecules/mol} \\\\=0.249\times10\\\\=2.5\ moles[/tex]

Hence, the moles of nitrogen gas are in the sample is 2.5 moles.
