There are 2.1 atoms of mercury.
Calculation:
Convert 0.0000355 mol of Hg to the '# of atoms of Hg' using Avagadro's number.
Avagadro's constant = 6.022 * 1023 atoms/ mole.
Hence 'number of atoms of Hg' in the given drop of mercury is
= 0.0000355 mol of Hg * 6.022 10²³ atoms of Hg 1 mole Hg
= 2.14* 1019 atoms of Hg.
In question, we are given 1.0 mm in 2 significant figures, so our final answer must also be in 2 significant figures.
Hence the number of atoms of Hg in a given drop of mercury is 2.1x10¹⁹ atoms Plugin 2.1.
