Answer:
3.0 × 10²⁰ molecules
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of ethanol = 2.3 × 10⁻²°³ g
Number of molecules = ?
Solution:
Number of moles of ethanol:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 2.3 × 10⁻²°³ g / 46.07 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.05 × 10⁻²°³ mol
Number of molecules:
One mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules
0.05 × 10⁻²°³ mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol
0.30 × 10²⁰°⁷ molecules
3.0 × 10¹⁹°⁷ molecules which is almost equal to 3.0 × 10²⁰ molecules.
