  • Calculating Atoms in Carbon Dioxide: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of atoms in 35 moles of carbon dioxide (CO2):

    1. Atoms per molecule:

    * Each CO2 molecule contains 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, for a total of 3 atoms.

    2. Avogadro's Number:

    * Avogadro's number tells us there are 6.022 x 10^23 molecules in one mole of any substance.

    3. Calculation:

    * Step 1: Multiply the moles of CO2 by Avogadro's number to find the number of CO2 molecules:

    35 mol CO2 * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) = 2.1077 x 10^25 molecules of CO2

    * Step 2: Multiply the number of CO2 molecules by the number of atoms per molecule:

    (2.1077 x 10^25 molecules) * (3 atoms/molecule) = 6.3231 x 10^25 atoms

    Answer: There are approximately 6.3231 x 10^25 atoms in 35 moles of carbon dioxide.
