Question

What conversion factor would we need to convert moles of helium to atoms of helium

Answer 1

The conversion factor required to convert moles of helium to atoms of helium is equal to 6.023*10²³ (NA).

• Helium is a monoatomic gas.
• Each molecule of helium gas contains one atom of helium.
• Therefore, one mole of helium gas will contain one mole atoms of helium.
• One mole of any substance contains 6.023*10²³ particles.
• Hence, one mole of helium contains 6.023*10²³ atoms of helium.
