The number of atoms in a 3.4 g copper coin
Answer to Problem 2P
Solution:
The number of atoms in the copper coin is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of copper coin, mc = 3.4 g
Formula used:
i)The number of moles of a given specimen of substance,
n = , where m is the mass of the specimen and M is the mass of 1 mole of the substance
Calculation:
The number of moles of atoms of a specimen of a monatomic substance is given by,
n = , where m is the mass of the specimen and M is the mass of 1 mole of the substance
For copper,
Therefore, n =
Number of atoms of copper, , where NA is the Avogadro number
