Answer:
9.64 × 10²³ molecules
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of calcium oxide = 89.23 g
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
First of all we will calculate the number of moles of calcium oxide.
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 89.23 g/ 56.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.6 mol
Number of molecules;
1 mole contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules
1.6 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1mol
9.64 × 10²³ molecules
The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.
