17.8 g of sodium perchlorate contains 8.73 × 10²² Na⁺ ions, 8.73 × 10²² ClO₄⁻ ions, 8.73 × 10²² Cl atoms and 3.49 × 10²³ O atoms.
First, we will convert 17.8 g of NaClO₄ to moles using its molar mass (122.44 g/mol).
[tex]17.8 g \times \frac{1mol}{122.44g} = 0.145 mol[/tex]
Next, we will convert 0.145 moles to molecules of NaClO₄ using Avogadro's number; there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
[tex]0.145 mol \times \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23}molecules }{mol} = 8.73 \times 10^{22}molecules[/tex]
NaClO₄ is a strong electrolyte that dissociates according to the following equation.
NaClO₄ ⇒ Na⁺ + ClO₄⁻
The molar ratio of NaClO₄ to Na⁺ is 1:1. The number of Na⁺ in 8.73 × 10²² molecules of NaClO₄ is:
