6.1 Raunak took 5 moles of carbon atoms in a containe má Krish also took 5

moles of sodium atoms in another container of the same weight

(a) Whose container is heavier?

(b) Whose container has more number of atoms?

a. Krish's container is heavier than Raunak's container.

b. Both container have the same number of atoms.

Explanation:

The molar mass of any element is equivalent to one mole of that substance.

weight of 1 mole of carbon atom is 12 g and weight of 1 mole of sodium atoms is 23 g.

So, the mass of 5 moles of carbon atoms

12 x 5 = 60 g

In this same way,

the mass of 5 moles of sodium atoms

23 x 5 = 115g

From this, we can say that Krishna's container is heavier.

b. One mole of a carbon atom has 6.022 x 10^23 atoms and one mole of sodium also has 6.022 x 10^23 atoms.

So, 5 moles of carbon and sodium contains the same number atoms which are

5 x 6.022 x 10^23

= 3.011 x 10^24 atoms.
