Answer :
5.00g Au x(1 atom Au/3.271x10^-22 g) = 1.52858x10^22 atoms
Since one of your given terms has only 3 significant figures (5.00g), your answer should only have 3 sig figs showing: 1.53x10^22 atoms Au
Since one of your given terms has only 3 significant figures (5.00g), your answer should only have 3 sig figs showing: 1.53x10^22 atoms Au
Answer:
number of gold atoms = [tex]1.528X10^{22}[/tex]
Explanation:
The mass of one atom of gold is given to be = [tex]3.271X10^{-22}[/tex]
The mass of gold is given to be = [tex]5.00g[/tex]
In order to determine the number of atoms present in the 5 g of gold, we will divide the mass of the gold with the mass of each atom of the gold.
the number of atoms = [tex]\frac{massofgold}{massofatom}=\frac{5}{3.271X10^{-22}} =1.528X10^{22}[/tex]
Thus number of gold atoms = [tex]1.528X10^{22}[/tex]
