2. If 1.204 X 1024 atoms of sodium is 20% of the total sodium atoms in sodium
chloride NaCl), how many grams of salt do you have ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

584.2 g

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since we know the 20% of the atoms correspond to sodium, we can compute the total atoms as shown below:

[tex]\frac{1.204 x10^{24}}{0.2}=6.02x10^{24}atoms[/tex]

Which are also equal to 1 mol and the Avogadro's number of sodium chloride with a molar mass of 58.44 g/mol; thus, the grams of salt turn out to be:

[tex]6.02x10^{24}atoms*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}atoms} *\frac{58.44g}{1mol}\\\\=584.2g[/tex]

Best regards!
