  • Calculate the Mass of Platinum Atoms: A Step-by-Step Guide
    To calculate the mass of 5.23x1021 platinum atoms, we can use the molar mass of platinum. The molar mass of platinum is 195.084 g/mol, which means that one mole of platinum atoms has a mass of 195.084 grams.

    First, we need to find the number of moles of platinum in 5.23x1021 atoms. We can do this by dividing the number of atoms by Avogadro's number, which is 6.022x1023 atoms/mol:

    $$moles \ of \ Pt = \frac{5.23\times10^{21} \ atoms}{6.022\times10^{23} \ atoms/mol} = 8.68\times10^{-3} \ mol$$

    Now, we can use the molar mass of platinum to calculate the mass of 5.23x1021 platinum atoms by multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass:

    $$mass \ of \ Pt = 8.68\times10^{-3} \ mol \times 195.084 \ g/mol = 1.70 \ g$$

    Therefore, the mass of 5.23x1021 platinum atoms is 1.70 grams.
