Answer: The mass of [tex]4.65\times 10^{22}[/tex] molecules of phosphorus pentoxide is 20.5 g
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {avogadro's number}}=\frac{4.65\times 10^{22}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=0.0772moles[/tex]
1 mole of [tex]P_2O_5[/tex] weigh = 283.9 g
Thus 0.0772 moles of [tex]P_2O_5[/tex] weigh = [tex]\frac{283.9}{1}\times 0.0722=20.5g[/tex]
Thus the mass of [tex]4.65\times 10^{22}[/tex] molecules of phosphorus pentoxide is 20.5 g
