Density of Carbon tetrachloride = 1.59 g/mL
Mass of Carbon tetrachloride = 55 g
Calculations:
1. Calculate the number of moles of Carbon Tetrachloride present in 55 g:
Moles of Carbon Tetrachloride = Mass / Molar Mass
Moles of Carbon Tetrachloride = 55 g / 153.82 g/mol
Moles of Carbon Tetrachloride = 0.358 mol
2. Since there are 4 Chlorine atoms per molecule of Carbon Tetrachloride, we can calculate the total number of Chlorine atoms:
Total number of Chlorine atoms = 4 * Moles of Carbon Tetrachloride
Total number of Chlorine atoms = 4 * 0.358 mol
Total number of Chlorine atoms = 1.43 mol
3. Convert moles of Chlorine atoms to the number of atoms:
Number of Chlorine atoms = Moles of Chlorine atoms * Avogadro's Number
Number of Chlorine atoms = 1.43 mol * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
Number of Chlorine atoms = 8.62 x 10^23 atoms
Conclusion:
Therefore, there are approximately 8.62 x 10^23 Chlorine atoms present in 55 g of Carbon Tetrachloride.
