Raunak 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
Answer:
a. : a) 1 mole= molar mass of a substance. Thus, Krish's container is heavier than Raunak's container. b) Here, both container have 5 moles of each carbon and sodium, therefore, both containers have equal number of atoms, i.e., 5×6.022×1023 atoms
Explanation:
Number of moles of carbon in Raunak'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 Raunak's container and Number of atoms present in both containers is same.
