  • Calculating the Mass of Lead Atoms: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mass of 8.90 x 10^23 lead atoms:

    1. Avogadro's Number:

    * Avogadro's number tells us the number of atoms in one mole of any element. It's approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol.

    2. Molar Mass:

    * The molar mass of lead (Pb) is 207.2 g/mol. This means one mole of lead has a mass of 207.2 grams.

    3. Calculation:

    * Step 1: Find the number of moles of lead:

    (8.90 x 10^23 atoms) / (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) = 1.48 mol

    * Step 2: Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass to find the mass:

    (1.48 mol) * (207.2 g/mol) = 307 g

    Therefore, the mass of 8.90 x 10^23 lead atoms is approximately 307 grams.
