how many atoms are in 0.05 moles of xenon gas at STP?


2.2 x 10^23


3.0 x 10^22


6.0 x 10^23


3.0 x 10^24

Verified Answer :

To convert moles to atoms, multiply moles by Avogadro's number:
(0.05mol Xe)(6.02x10^23 atoms) = 3.0x10^22 atoms Xe

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the mole concept there are \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) atoms present in 1 mole of a substance.

Mathematically,    1 mole = \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) atoms or molecules

Therefore, number of atoms present in 0.05 moles of xenon are as follows.

                 \(0.05 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\)

                   = \(0.3011 \times 10^{23}\) atoms

or,                = \(3.0 \times 10^{22}\) atoms

Thus, we can conclude that there are \(3.0 \times 10^{22}\) atoms present in 0.05 moles of xenon gas at STP.
