Question: How many molecules are there in \(2.570\,moles\) of \({H_2}\) ?...

How many molecules are there in 2.570moles2.570\,moles of H2{H_2} ?

Explanation

Solution

In these types of questions where we have to convert some amount of moles into atoms keep in mind these three formulas as your main steps for finding answers any of these may be as direct relation or can be found out by those. First is molar mass, it is mass in one mole, second is the Avogadro number 6.022×1023atoms6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,atoms and third is to convert atoms into mass and molar mass.

Complete solution:
Hydrogen is the element found in the top most position in periodic table having atomic number as 11 and mass number also 11 so by considering the main formula by which we can convert moles into atoms or molecules is a relation of Avogadro number. Now what Avogadro number is? It gives us the specific amount of a numeric value which is present in one mole. We know from our junior classes that 1mole=6.022×1023atoms1\,mole = \,6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,atoms .
Multiply this amount into that number which we have to change in molecules. According to molar mass of hydrogen which is 1gmol11g\,mo{l^{ - 1}} , it means in 1mole1\,mole there is 1g1g\, of hydrogen having 6.022×1023atoms6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,atoms or we can say 6.022×1023molecules6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,molecules. Now as we know the relation between moles and molecules, read the question again and let’s start doing the remaining calculation.
2.570mole=2.570×6.022×1023atoms2.570\,mole = \,2.570 \times 6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,atoms = 15.5×102315.5 \times {10^{23}} molecules.

Note: This is a standard conversion as we use for one dozen, as if we want one dozen any material it will contain 12items12\,items and if we want two dozen then 12×2items12 \times 2\,\,items . Similarly, there are 6.022×1023atomsormolecules6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,atoms\,or\,molecules in one mole. So if we want to calculate it for xmolex\,mole we have to just multiply xmole×6.022×1023atomsormoleculesx\,mole \times 6.022 \times {10^{23}}\,atoms\,or\,molecules
