  • Calculating Atoms in HBr: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the number of atoms in 2.13 grams of HBr:

    1. Calculate the molar mass of HBr:

    * H (hydrogen) has a molar mass of 1.01 g/mol

    * Br (bromine) has a molar mass of 79.90 g/mol

    * Molar mass of HBr = 1.01 g/mol + 79.90 g/mol = 80.91 g/mol

    2. Calculate the number of moles of HBr:

    * moles = mass / molar mass

    * moles = 2.13 g / 80.91 g/mol = 0.0263 mol

    3. Calculate the number of molecules of HBr:

    * One mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10^23 molecules (Avogadro's number)

    * molecules of HBr = 0.0263 mol * 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol = 1.58 x 10^22 molecules

    4. Calculate the total number of atoms:

    * Each HBr molecule contains 2 atoms (1 hydrogen and 1 bromine)

    * Total atoms = 1.58 x 10^22 molecules * 2 atoms/molecule = 3.16 x 10^22 atoms

    Therefore, there are approximately 3.16 x 10^22 atoms in 2.13 grams of HBr.
