total number of electrons in a kg mole of O2
Answers
Since Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth so i will give my answer in term of 1 kg of O2(molecule):-
1 mole = 32 gm
1 gm =1/32 mole
1 kg = 1000/32 mole
Now , 1 mole of any compound = 6.022 x (10)^23 atoms.
Therefore, 1 kg of O2= (1000/32)*(6.022 x (10)^23) atoms
Roughly , 1.881 x (10)^25 molecules
And each molecule has 16 electrons
Therefore, 3.096 x (10)^26 electrons.
Thank you.
Given - Kilogram mole of oxygen.
Find - Number of electrons
Solution - One kilogram mole of oxygen has number of electrons equal to Avogadro's number. For kilogram mole, Avogadro's number is 6.023*10²⁶.
Moreover, as per the fact, oxygen molecule contains 16 electrons.
So, Total number of electrons in kilogram mole of oxygen = 6.023*10²⁶*16
Total number of electrons = 9.6*10²⁷
Thus, number of electrons in a kilogram mole of O2 is 9.6*10²⁷ electrons.
