How many particles are in 9.22 x 10^–37 mol of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3)?

A. 5.54 x 10^12 mol Fe2O3
B. 1.60 x 10^23 mol Fe2O3
C. 1.47 x 10^–23 mol Fe2O3
D. 5.55 x 10^–13 mol Fe2O3

I think it is C?

I am wondering if you typed the question right. You are given mole iron(III)oxide, and the answers are in mols? Makes no sense to me. And, if you have an moles iron oxide, the particles has to be greater than one. When counting, you have to start at one. Answer C is less than one.

I definitely typed the question right bc i pasted it but I wouldn't be surprised if I got the answer wrong... If it can't be less than one then it is between A and b right? so B?

6.022 * 10^23 particles per mol. Like period, Avagadro's number.

9.22 x 10^–37 mol Is not even a single particle, nonsense

Maybe 9.22 Mols????

9.22 mols * 6.022*10^23 particles/mol
= 55.5 * 10^23 = 5.55 * 10^24

As bobpursley pointed out, the question makes no sense.

so which one should i choose lol

Here is how you work the problem and the answer the author THINKS you should get is D,

9.22E-37 x 6.02E23 = 5.55E-13; however, as everyone above has pointed out to you that can't be right. Your prof goofed but if I told him/her I would be very diplomatic about it.

To determine the number of particles in a given amount of substance, you need to use Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10^23 particles per mole.

In this case, you are given 9.22 x 10^–37 mol of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). To calculate the number of particles, you can use the equation:

Number of particles = Number of moles × Avogadro's number

Substituting the given value into the equation:

Number of particles = 9.22 x 10^–37 mol × 6.022 x 10^23 particles/mol

Now, multiply the values:

Number of particles = 5.54 x 10^–14 particles

Therefore, the correct answer is not option C. The correct answer is not listed among the options you provided. It seems there might be a mistake in the answer choices.
