Understanding the Concept

* Mole (mol): A mole is a unit of measurement that represents a specific number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.). One mole is equal to 6.022 x 10^23 particles (Avogadro's number).

Calculations

1. Use Avogadro's number: Since one mole of zinc contains 6.022 x 10^23 zinc atoms, we can use this ratio to find the number of atoms in 0.60 mol.

2. Set up a proportion:

(6.022 x 10^23 atoms) / (1 mol) = (x atoms) / (0.60 mol)

3. Solve for x:

x = (6.022 x 10^23 atoms) * (0.60 mol) / (1 mol)

x = 3.613 x 10^23 atoms

Answer: There are 3.613 x 10^23 atoms of zinc in 0.60 mol of zinc.
