  • Nitrogen Atom Calculation in C2H5O2N: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    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.
