One mole of atoms consists of 6.02 × 1023 individual atoms. If one mole of unicorn atoms were spread uniformly over the surface of a sphere the size of the Earth, approximately how many atoms would be found per square meter? The average radius of the Earth is 6.38 × 103 km.
The common Eastern mole, a mammal, typically has a mass of 75 g, which corresponds to about 7.5 moles of atoms. (A mole of atoms is 6.02 * 1023 atoms.) In atomic mass units (u), what is the average mass of the atoms in the common Eastern mole?
One molecule of water (H2O) contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. A hydrogen atom has a mass of 1.0 u and an
atom of oxygen has a mass of 16 u, approximately. (a) What is the mass of one molecule of water? (b) How many molecules of water are
