if you obtain 10 moles of water sugar sodium chloride copper and Styrofoam will each sample have the same number of particles?
Partly yes and partly no. All of the materials will give you the same number of particles except NaCl will be twice the others.
# molecules will be 10 x 6.0E23.
For NaCl # ions will be 2 x 10 x 6.02E23. For NaCl I'm assuming it will be in whatever form that allows us to count the individual ions.
To determine whether each sample will have the same number of particles, we need to calculate the number of particles in each substance sample.
1. Water (H2O): 10 moles of water contain 10 × Avogadro's number of water molecules (6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mol), giving us 10 × (6.022 × 10^23) = 6.022 × 10^24 water molecules.
2. Sugar (C12H22O11): Since there are 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms in one molecule of sugar, we add them up to find that one molecule of sugar contains 45 atoms. Therefore, 10 moles of sugar will have 10 × Avogadro's number of sugar molecules, which is 10 × (6.022 × 10^23) = 6.022 × 10^24 sugar molecules.
3. Sodium Chloride (NaCl): Each formula unit of sodium chloride contains one sodium ion (Na+) and one chloride ion (Cl-). Therefore, one molecule of sodium chloride contains two ions. Since 10 moles of sodium chloride will have 10 × Avogadro's number of sodium chloride molecules, the total number of ions will be 2 × 10 × (6.022 × 10^23) = 1.2044 × 10^25 ions.
4. Copper (Cu): Copper is an element, and it exists as individual atoms. Therefore, 10 moles of copper will have 10 × Avogadro's number of copper atoms, which is 10 × (6.022 × 10^23) = 6.022 × 10^24 copper atoms.
5. Styrofoam: Styrofoam is a synthetic polymer, and its sample does not consist of individual particles like molecules or atoms. Hence, we cannot determine the number of particles in a sample of Styrofoam based solely on the number of moles.
In summary, the water sample, sugar sample, and copper sample will each have the same number of particles, which is approximately 6.022 × 10^24 particles. However, the sodium chloride sample will have twice that number, approximately 1.2044 × 10^25 ions. The number of particles in the Styrofoam sample cannot be determined solely based on the number of moles.
