If a mole is equivalent to 6.02x10^23 molecules, and a liter of water has about 55.5 moles of H20, how do I find the amount of molecules this is?
(btw--thanks David for answering my last question)
But I don't think I quite understand this. (stupid doctor's appointment!)
Anyway, would I go about this--I don't need answers, just a good explanation. Thank you very much.
To find the number of molecules in a given amount of moles, you can use the Avogadro's number, which is 6.02x10^23 molecules per mole. In this case, you have 55.5 moles of H2O.
To find the number of molecules in 55.5 moles of H2O, you can multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number. This will give you the total number of molecules.
Mathematically, you would do the following calculation:
Number of molecules = Number of moles x Avogadro's number
Number of molecules = 55.5 moles x 6.02x10^23 molecules/mol
By multiplying these values together, you will get the number of molecules in 55.5 moles of H2O.
