  • Al vs. Fe: Which Has More Atoms? A Detailed Comparison
    To determine which has more atoms, we need to compare the number of moles of each element in 10 g of Al and Fe.

    The number of moles (n) can be calculated using the formula:

    n = mass (m) / molar mass (M)

    The molar masses of Al and Fe are:

    Al: 26.98 g/mol

    Fe: 55.85 g/mol

    Calculating the number of moles for 10 g of Al:

    n(Al) = 10 g / 26.98 g/mol = 0.371 moles

    Calculating the number of moles for 10 g of Fe:

    n(Fe) = 10 g / 55.85 g/mol = 0.179 moles

    Now, we compare the number of moles:

    0.371 moles (Al) > 0.179 moles (Fe)

    Since 10 g of Al has a greater number of moles compared to 10 g of Fe, it contains more atoms.

    Therefore, 10 g of Al has more atoms than 10 g of Fe.
