1. Understand the Formula:
* Ammonium sulfide has the chemical formula (NH₄)₂S. This means each molecule contains:
* 2 nitrogen atoms (N)
* 8 hydrogen atoms (H)
* 1 sulfur atom (S)
2. Calculate the Number of Molecules:
* Avogadro's number tells us there are 6.022 x 10²³ molecules in one mole of any substance.
* For 8.30 moles of ammonium sulfide, you have:
* 8.30 moles * (6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mole) = 4.99 x 10²⁴ molecules
3. Calculate the Total Hydrogen Atoms:
* Since each molecule has 8 hydrogen atoms, the total number of hydrogen atoms is:
* (4.99 x 10²⁴ molecules) * (8 hydrogen atoms/molecule) = 3.99 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms
Therefore, there are approximately 3.99 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms in 8.30 moles of ammonium sulfide.
