Answer:
The mistake here is the fact the student turned the moles back into mass and then multiplied the mass by Avogadro's number (6.02 x [tex]10^{23}[/tex]), which gave him a false answer. To get the correct answer, he had to multiply the number of moles of ammonium acetate by Avogadro's number for the number of molecules.
[tex]Number\ of\ molecules\ =\ moles\ * \ Avogadro's\ number[/tex]
[tex]Number \ of \ molecules\ =\ 0.100 \ * \ (6.02 * 10^2^3)[/tex]
[tex]Number \ of \ molecules = 6.02\ * \ 10^{22}[/tex]
The correct number of molecules of ammonium acetate used in the reaction is 6.02 x [tex]10^{22}[/tex] moles
The correct number of molecules of ammonium acetate used in the reaction is 0.60 × 10²³.
Avogadro's numbers are those numbers which tells about the number of atoms present in one mole of any substance and it is equal to the 6.022 × 10²³.
In the question given that 0.100 mole of ammonium acetate is present and for finding the molecules of ammonium acetate we have to multiply the given moles with the avogadro's numbers as:
No. of molecules = 0.100 × 6.022 × 10²³ = 0.60 × 10²³.
But student convert rhe moles into mass and then multiply with the avogadro's numbers which leads to the wrong answer.
Hence, correct number of molecules of ammonium acetate is 0.60 × 10²³.
