  • Calculating the Number of Molecules in 25.0g of NO2: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of molecules in 25.0 g of NO2:

    1. Calculate the molar mass of NO2:

    * N (Nitrogen) has a molar mass of 14.01 g/mol

    * O (Oxygen) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol

    * NO2 has a molar mass of 14.01 g/mol + (2 * 16.00 g/mol) = 46.01 g/mol

    2. Convert grams to moles:

    * Use the molar mass to convert grams of NO2 to moles:

    25.0 g NO2 * (1 mol NO2 / 46.01 g NO2) = 0.543 mol NO2

    3. Use Avogadro's number to convert moles to molecules:

    * Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol

    * Multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number:

    0.543 mol NO2 * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) = 3.27 x 10^23 molecules

    Therefore, there are approximately 3.27 x 10^23 molecules in 25.0 g of NO2.
