My Chemistry professor was going over conversions from moles today and put the question up of how many atoms of carbon are in 500mg of C6H8O6.As far as I can tell, my dimensional analysis is correct by converting mg to g, then to mol of C6H8O6 to 6 mol of C then multiplying by Na yet my answer was incorrect by getting 1.7X1021
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
