A sample of nitrogen gas has a mass of 48.6 grams. How many N2 molecules are there in the sample? molecules Submit Answer & Next

There are 1.05 x 10²⁴ molecules in 48.6 g N₂

Explanation:

1 mol of N₂ has a mass of (14 g * 2) 28 g.

Then, 48.6 g of N₂ will be equal to (48.6 g * (1 mol / 28 g)) 1.74 mol.

Since there are 6.022 x 10²³ molecules in 1 mol N₂, there will be

(1.74 mol * (6.022 x 10²³ / 1 mol)) 1.05 x 10²⁴ molecules in 1.74 mol N₂ (or 48. 6 g N₂).
