Answer:
3.25×10²⁴ molecules
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of H₂O = 97.2 g
Number of molecule of H₂O =?
From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that:
1 mole of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules
Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:
1 mole of H₂O = (2×1) + 16
= 2 + 16
= 18 g
Thus,
18 g of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules
Finally, we shall determine the number of molecules in 97.2 g of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:
18 g of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules
Therefore,
97.2 g of H₂O = 97.2 × 6.02×10²³ / 18
97.2 g of H₂O = 3.25×10²⁴ molecules
Thus, 97.2 g of H₂O contains 3.25×10²⁴ molecules.
