1. Avogadro's Number
Avogadro's number tells us the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole of a substance. It's approximately:
* 6.022 x 10²³ particles/mol
2. Calculation
To find the number of silver atoms in 0.050 mol, we'll multiply the moles by Avogadro's number:
* Number of atoms = (0.050 mol) * (6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol)
* Number of atoms ≈ 3.01 x 10²² atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 3.01 x 10²² silver atoms in 0.050 mol of silver.
