Answer :
(a) The number of atoms of nickel required are,
(b) The moles of nickel are, and 0.9944 mol
Explanation : Given,
Area =
Conversion used :
Thickness = 0.002 in = 0.002 × 2.54 = 0.00508 cm
Conversion used : (1 in = 2.54 cm)
First we have to calculate the volume of nickel.
Volume of nickel = Area × Thickness
Volume of nickel =
Volume of nickel =
Now we have to calculate the mass of nickel.
Mass of nickel = Density of nickel × Volume of nickel
Density of nickel = 8.91 g/cm³
Mass of nickel = 8.91 g/cm³ × 6.55 cm³
Mass of nickel = 58.36 g
Now we have to calculate the moles of nickel.
Molar mass of nickel = 58.69 g/mol
Now we have to calculate the number of atoms of nickel are required.
As, 1 mole of nickel contains atoms of nickel
So, 0.9944 mole of nickel contains atoms of nickel
Thus, the number of atoms of nickel required and moles of nickel are, and 0.9944 mol respectively.
