Avogadro's constant is the number of:

Correct answer: B. Atoms in 24g of Mg

  • A. Electrons present in 2g of H
  • B. Atoms in 24g of Mg
  • C. Atoms in 1g of He
  • D. Molecules in 35.5g of Chlorine

Explanation

Avogadro's Number (NA) is the number of atoms, molecules, ions, or anything in one mole of the respective substance. As 6.02 x 1023 atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons are present in one mole; therefore, this number is known as Avogadro's number.Only 24g of Mg equals one mole of Mg. Thus, only 24g of Mg has Avogadro's number of atoms.1g of He equals 1/2 mole of He. Thus it has half the number of atoms than Avogadro's number.35.5g of chlorine equals 1/2 mole of chlorine gas. Thus, it has half the number of molecules than Avogadro's number.2g of H equals two moles. Each mole of H atoms has 1 mole of electrons only, so two moles of H have twice the number of electrons than Avogadro's number.

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
