How many atoms are in 33g of titanium (Ti)?
Solution
Titanium is denoted with the symbols of Ti having the atomic number 22 and the atomic mass 47.867 g/mol. It is one of the transition metals which is lustrous with silver colour. It is having low density and high strength. A mole is defined as 6.02214076×1023 of a chemical unit in the terms of ions, atoms, molecules, etc.
Complete step by step answer:
A mole is a unit measurement for the amount of substance in the international system of units i.e., SI unit. A mole of a particle or a mole of substances is defined as 6.02214076×1023 of a chemical unit, that can be ions, atoms, molecules, etc. Originally it was defined as the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12.
The 1g of the atom will be equal to 1mole.
In equation, 1g of atom =1mole
Since, 1mole contains Avogadro’s number (NA ) of atoms.
So, 1mole=6.022×1023atoms
Therefore, for 1 atom will be;
1atom=6.022×10231gatoms
So, the answer will be;
1atom=1.66×10−24gatoms
To calculate the number of moles;
Let’s use the equation;
Number of moles, n=molecularmassmass
The given mass of titanium (Ti)=33 g
The molecular mass of titanium (Ti) = 47.867 g/mol
Substitute the values in above equation,
n=47.86733
So, the number of moles will be;
n=0.692
=gmol−1g
=mol−11
=mol11
=mol
We have to multiply with Avogadro's number to get the atoms.
Now, let’s calculate the number of atoms present in 33 g of titanium
=0.69×6.023×1023
=4.15×1023 atoms
So, the answer obtained will be, 4.15×1023 atoms are present in 33 g of titanium.
Note: If a compound is having the mass, we can calculate the moles by using the formula of moles, either it is for one molecule or the compound. If a compound is having A and B molecules then the sum of the moles will be 1.
