Question:easy

Find the number of molecules present in 70 g dinitrogen.

Show Hint

Convert 70 g to moles using the molar mass 28 g/mol, then multiply by Avogadro's number.

  • \(1.5055\times 10^{24}\)
  • \(1.5055\times 10^{23}\)
  • \(3.011\times 10^{24}\)
  • \(3.011\times 10^{23}\)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Use the mass ratio:
28 g of $\text{N}_2$ is exactly one mole, which holds $6.022\times10^{23}$ molecules. So the molecule count is directly proportional to the mass taken.

Step 2: Scale up to 70 g:
Mass ratio: $70/28 = 2.5$.
Molecules $= 2.5 \times 6.022\times10^{23}$.
Since $2.5\times 6.022 = 15.055$, we get $15.055\times10^{23} = 1.5055\times10^{24}$ molecules.

Step 3: Compare with the options:
Only option (A) has the digits 1.5055 with the power $10^{24}$. Option (C), $3.011\times10^{24}$, is 5 mol, so it belongs to 140 g. Options (B) and (D) are a factor of ten smaller and belong to 7 g and 14 g.

Final Answer:
The sample is 2.5 times one mole of $\text{N}_2$, so it has $1.5055\times10^{24}$ molecules, option (A). \[ \boxed{1.5055\times 10^{24}\text{ (A)}} \]
