How many atoms or molecules are in 5.0 moles of the following?

a. O

b. N

c. MgCl₂

d. C₂H₃NO

They all have the same number of molecules or atoms which is 3.011*10²⁴ molecules or atoms.

5 moles of O = 3.011*10²⁴ molecules or atoms

5 moles of N = 3.011*10²⁴ molecules or atoms

5 moles of MgCl2 = 3.011*10²⁴ molecules or atoms

5 moles of C2H3NO = 3.011*10²⁴ molecules or atoms.

Explanation:

a)

5 moles of O = ?

1 mole of any substance is equal to Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.022*10²³molecules or atoms

From the question above,

5 moles of O = 5 * 6.022*10²³ = 3.011*10²⁴atoms or molecules.

b)

5 moles of N

From the same principle or fundamentally stated fact above,

1 mole of any substance = 6.022*10²³molecules or atom

5 moles of N = 5 * 6.024

2*10²³ = 3.011*10²⁴atoms or molecules.

c)

5 moles of MgCl₂

Same principle we used in a and b,

1 mole of any substance = 6.022*10²³ atoms or molecules

5 moles of MgCl2 = 5.0*6.022*10²³ = 3.011*10²⁴ atoms or molecules.

d)

5 moles of C₂H₃NO = ?

1 mole of C₂H₃NO = 6.022*10²³molecules or atoms

5 moles = x molecules or atoms

x = 5 * 6.024

2*10²³ = 3.011*10²⁴ atoms or molecules

What this proves is that no matter the compound, molecule or element, as long as they have equal amount of moles, they'll have the same number of atoms, molecules or particles.

a. 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of O in 5 moles.

b. 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of N in 5 moles.

c. 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of MgCl₂ in 5 moles.

d. 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of C₂H₃NO in 5 moles

Explanation:

A mole is defined as the number of atoms in exactly 12.000g of ¹²C.

This number is equal to 6.022x10²³. That means 1 mole is equal to 6.022x10²³.

Thus:

a. O. 5 moles of oxygen (An atom) are:

5 moles O ₓ (6.022x10²³ atoms of O / mole) = 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of O in 5 moles

b. N. Also, 5 moles of nitrogen are:

5 moles N ₓ (6.022x10²³ atoms of N / mole) = 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of N in 5 moles

c. MgCl₂. Magnesium chloride is a molecule. Again, 1 mole of MgCl₂ contains 6.022x10²³ molecules and 5 moles are:

5 moles MgCl₂ ₓ (6.022x10²³ molecules of MgCl₂ / mole) = 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of MgCl₂ in 5 moles

d. C₂H₃NO. 5 moles of C₂H₃NO are:

5 moles C₂H₃NO ₓ (6.022x10²³ molecules of C₂H₃NO / mole) = 3.011x10²⁴ atoms of C₂H₃NO in 5 moles

As you can see, number of molecules of 1 mole doesn't depend on the nature of the substance.
