  • Calculating the Number of Molecules in 0.75g of Ammonia (NH3)
    Here's how to calculate the number of molecules in 0.75 g of ammonia (NH₃):

    1. Find the molar mass of ammonia:

    * Nitrogen (N) has a molar mass of 14.01 g/mol.

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

    * Ammonia (NH₃) has a molar mass of 14.01 g/mol + (3 * 1.01 g/mol) = 17.04 g/mol

    2. Convert grams of ammonia to moles:

    * Moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

    * Moles = 0.75 g / 17.04 g/mol = 0.044 mol

    3. Use Avogadro's number to convert moles to molecules:

    * Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mol

    * Number of molecules = (moles) * (Avogadro's number)

    * Number of molecules = 0.044 mol * 6.022 x 10²³ molecules/mol

    * Number of molecules = 2.65 x 10²² molecules

    Therefore, there are approximately 2.65 x 10²² molecules in 0.75 grams of ammonia.
