How many molecules does 0.773 moles of Ca(OH)2 contain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Molecules to moles is dividing by Avogadro's constant (6.02x10^23) So this would be... 1.279 molecules of Ca(OH)2 if I understood the question correctly....

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

you forgot the exponent :)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

how did you get 1.279? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aaaaah o_o Correction.... 1.284 Molecules... becuase it's 0.773 / (6,02x10^23) = 1.284

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.284x10^-24 aka 1.284 mol

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I think a mole has many molecules? (?) :o

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

i would do \(0.773\times6.02\times10^{23}=4.65346\times10^{23}\) molecules.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you're not following the rule of BODMAS. Brackets Operators Multiplication Addition Subtraction Therefore it's xing the 0.773 and the 6.02 first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh gosh I think you're right though... we're doing moles to molecules! :O Sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I read the question wrong!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, it would be yes, as you say 0.773 x (6.02x10^23)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 4.653 x10^23

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

oh thank you :)
