how many molecules of dinitrogen pentoxide are present if there are 0.0543 g of oxygen atoms in the sample
@ribhu
u know dinitrogen pentoxide is N2O5, mol wt =108
yes
1 mol n2o5 contains 5 mol oxygen
yes
108 gm n2o5 contains 80 gm oxygen
so there is 28 grams of nitrogen
0.05423 mol of oxygen since gm atoms = mol
for this 1 mol oxygen would be contained in 1/5 mol n205 so .05423 mol ox we need to have 1/5 *.05423 mol n205
so the molecules of n2o5 are 1/5 *.05423 * 6.023*10^23 molecules
6.53*10^21 molecules of n2o5 @ryankean12 this would be the answer
i kinda get it just not the "for this 1 mol oxygen would be contained in 1/5 mol n205 so .05423 mol ox we need to have 1/5 *.05423 mol n205"
how did you get the 1/5 *.05423 mol N2O5?
see gram of atoms are same as moles
and we know 1 mol n2o5 has 5 mol oxygen so 1 mol oxygen would be contained in 1/5 mol n2o5
i get it now
and hence from the question .05423 gram of oxygen atoms or mol of oxygen.
i hope i am clear now.
