How many moles are there in 9.033×1024 atoms of Helium (He) ?
Solution
One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022×1023 units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022×1023 is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant. i.e., One mole = 6.022×1023 atoms, molecules, protons, etc.
To convert from moles to atoms, multiply the molar amount by Avogadro's number. To convert from atoms to moles, divide the atom amount (number of atoms of a substance) by Avogadro's number i.e., Number of moles =6.022×1023numberofatoms .
Complete answer:
Helium (He) is a chemical element with the atomic number 2 . It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas, the first element in the noble gas group in the periodic table. Its boiling point is the lowest among all the elements.
Number of atoms in He =9.033×1024 atoms
Number of moles in 6.022×1023 atoms =1 mole.
Since we know that, Number of moles is the ratio of the number of atoms to the Avogadro number.
Hence, number of moles in 9.033×1024 atoms of Helium (He) =6.022×1023numberofatomsinHe
=6.022×10239.033×1024
=6.0229.033×1024−23
=6.0229.033×10
=6.02290.33
=602290330=15 .
Hence the number of moles in 9.033×1024 atoms of Helium (He) is 15 .
Note:
Note that Avogadro number is used to measure the products obtained from the chemical reaction. The unit is denoted by mol .
The formula for the number of moles from grams is expressed as NumberofMoles=MassofonemoleMassofsubstance
Each element has a different molar mass depending on the weight of 6.022×1023 of its atoms. Example atoms in 12 grams are the same as 12 grams of carbon. Also note that, Helium is the second lightest and second most abundant element in the periodic table (Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element).
