1. Calculate the molar mass of C2H5O2N:
* C: 2 atoms * 12.01 g/mol = 24.02 g/mol
* H: 5 atoms * 1.01 g/mol = 5.05 g/mol
* O: 2 atoms * 16.00 g/mol = 32.00 g/mol
* N: 1 atom * 14.01 g/mol = 14.01 g/mol
Total molar mass of C2H5O2N = 75.08 g/mol
2. Convert grams of C2H5O2N to moles:
* moles = grams / molar mass
* moles = 5.00 g / 75.08 g/mol
* moles ≈ 0.0666 mol
3. Calculate the moles of nitrogen atoms:
* Since there is one nitrogen atom per molecule of C2H5O2N, the moles of nitrogen are equal to the moles of C2H5O2N: 0.0666 mol
4. Convert moles of nitrogen atoms to number of atoms:
* Use Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
* atoms of nitrogen = moles of nitrogen * Avogadro's number
* atoms of nitrogen = 0.0666 mol * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol
* atoms of nitrogen ≈ 4.01 x 10^22 atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 4.01 x 10^22 atoms of nitrogen present in 5.00 g of C2H5O2N.
