How many atoms are in 2.12 grams of Ni?

Verified Answer :

Adopting the number of avogrado 6.02 10²³ / mol

Nickel Molar Mass = 58.7 g / mol

We will first have to find the number of moles in 2.12 grams of the element, like this:

 
1 mol ----------------- 58.7 g

X ---------------------- 2.12 g

 
58.7
x = 2.12 1

58.7x = 2.12 
\(x = \frac{2.12}{58.7}\)
X 
≈ 0.036 mol
 
Now we will find how many atoms there are in 0.036 mol of this element, like this:

 
1 mol -------------------- 6.02
10²³ atoms

0.036 mols ----------------- X

 
X = 0.036 6.02 10²³

X ≈ 0.21 * 10²³ atoms
or 
\(\boxed{\boxed{x \approx 2.1 * 10^{24}\:atoms}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark\)
