  • Calculating Hydrogen Atoms in Heptane (C7H16) - A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of H atoms in 1 mole of C7H16:

    1. Understand the Formula:

    * C7H16 represents the molecule heptane. It has 7 carbon atoms (C) and 16 hydrogen atoms (H).

    2. Avogadro's Number:

    * Avogadro's number states that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10^23 particles (atoms, molecules, etc.).

    3. Calculation:

    * Step 1: Determine the number of H atoms per molecule of C7H16: There are 16 H atoms.

    * Step 2: Multiply the number of H atoms per molecule by Avogadro's number: 16 atoms/molecule * 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mole = 9.635 x 10^24 atoms/mole

    Therefore, there are 9.635 x 10^24 hydrogen atoms in 1 mole of C7H16.
