Check my answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which equivalence factor should you use to convert from 4.25 moles of Al to atoms of Al? (1 atom Al/4.25 mol Al) (6.02 x 1023 atoms Al/1 mol Al) (6.02 x 1023 atoms Al/4.25 mol) (4.25 mol Al/6.02 x 1023 atoms Al) <---

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

That's not what I get. An equivalence factor must be things that are equal to each other.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You also would want the unit you want in the numerator and the unit you want to cancel in the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay can you show me how to do it? i thought it was the opposite @JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(6.02 x 1023 atoms Al/4.25 mol) so this would be the correct answer?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No, but closer. 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is the number of atoms in 1 mol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(6.02 x 1023 atoms Al/1 mol Al) so its this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was asking for 4.25 mol

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yup :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

It is only asking for the equivalence factor. You would need the 4.25 mol once you actually convert it.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

4.25 mol Al *(6.02x10^23 atoms/1 mol) = number of atoms of Al

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :D

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

:) No worries
