Understanding the Concept
* Avogadro's Number: A mole is a unit of measurement that represents a specific number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.). This number is Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.022 x 10²³ particles per mole.
Calculation
1. Start with the moles of H₂O: 0.943 moles H₂O
2. Multiply by Avogadro's Number:
0.943 moles H₂O * (6.022 x 10²³ molecules H₂O / 1 mole H₂O)
3. Cancel out the units: The "moles" unit cancels out, leaving you with molecules.
4. Calculate: The result is approximately 5.68 x 10²³ molecules of H₂O.
Answer: 0.943 moles of H₂O is equivalent to approximately 5.68 x 10²³ molecules of H₂O.
