Raj took 5 moles of carbon atoms in a container and Krish also took 5 moles of sodium atoms in another container of same weight.
a. Whose container is heavier?
b. Whose container has more number of atoms?
Answers
So, 5 moles of C-atoms = 12x 5 = 60 gm
Similarly,
1 mole of Na-atoms = 23 gm
5 moles of Na-atoms = 23 x 5 = 115 gm
So, Krrish's container with sodium atoms is heavier.
2). Since, 1 mole = Avogadro no. of atoms(for monoatomic elements)
And, both C and Na are found monoatomic so, no. of moles will be equal in each container.
Explanation:
Number of moles of carbon in Raj's container = 5 mol
Weight of 1 mol of carbon atoms = 12
Now , Weight of 5 moles of carbon atoms = 12 × 5 = 60 g
Number of moles of sodium in krish's container = 5 moles
Weight of 1 mol of Sodium = 23 g
Now , Weight of 5 moles of sodium = 23 × 5 = 115 g
By observing the above calculations . We can say that Krish's container is heavier compared to Raunak's container.
And Now ,Coming to the number of atoms ;
Product of number of moles of substance and avogadro number (6.023×10²³) gives the number of atoms in that substance.
The number of moles of both taken atoms is same. So , Number of atoms will also be same.
Hence ,
Krish's container is heavier compared to Raj's container and Number of atoms present in both containers is same.
