how do you calculate the number of iron atoms in 76 g of iron? help me please & thanksss
Convert 76 g of iron to moles by dividing the 76 g by the atomic mass 55.847 g*mol^-1 to get moles then multiply that Avogadro's number 6.022x10^23. = 8.195e+23
There might be a quicker way but this is how I would do it...
First you have to convert it to moles.
For this you need to know the gram molecular weight of iron.
I looked it up and got 55.845 grams/mol.
So you have to divide it...
76 / 55.845 = approx. 1.361 moles.
Now to get the number of atoms for that many moles, you have to multiply by Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23)
1.361 * 6.02 * 10^23
The answer is 8.19 x 10^23 atoms.
Hope that helps.
