Chapter 7: Problem 21

How many atoms are in the \(1.25 \times 10^{-2}\) mol of mercury within the bulb of a thermometer?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The bulb of the thermometer contains approximately \(7.5275 \times 10^{21}\) atoms of mercury.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the amount of moles given

The problem mentions \(1.25 \times 10^{-2}\) moles of mercury. This is the number of moles you'll use to calculate the number of atoms.
02

Use Avogadro's number to calculate the number of atoms

To find out the number of atoms, you'll need to multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number, which is \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) atoms per mole. Therefore, the calculation will be \(1.25 \times 10^{-2} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\) atoms.
03

Carry out the calculation

Performing the multiplication will give you the total number of mercury atoms.
