A sample contains 200 atoms of hydrogen,0.05gm atom of nitrogen,10 raise to -20gm atom of oxygen.what is the approximate no. Of total atoms

Answer»

ANSWER:

2.1507×10^21 atoms is the correct answer.

Explanation:

GIVEN data :

Number of atoms of hydrogen = 200

No of atom of NITROGEN = 0.05

Number of atom of oxygen = 10^-20

To find

The approximate number of total atoms

Solution:

We know that

14 GRAMS of nitrogen will require 6.022×10²³ atoms

Therefore 0.05 grams of nitrogen will require X atoms

By cross multiplication,

x = 6.022×10²³ × 0.05/ 14

= 2.1507×10²¹ atoms of nitrogen

Therefore 0.05 grams of nitrogen will require 2.1507×10²¹ atoms

Now we know that,

16 grams of oxygen will require 6.022×10²³ atoms

Therefore 10^-20 grams of oxygen will require x atoms

By cross multiplication,

x = 6.022×10²³ × 10^-20/ 16

= 376.375 atoms

Therefore 10^-20 grams of oxygen will require 376.375atoms

Now total atoms of compund

= atoms of hydrogen+ atoms of nitrogen+ atoms of oxygen

= 200+ 2.1507×10²¹ + 376.375

= 2.1507*10^27 atoms

Hence, 2.1507×10^21 atoms is the correct answer.
