Question

A 3.87g sample of nitrous oxide (an anesthetic sometimes called laughing gas) contains 5.30x1022 N2O molecules. 

a) How many nitrogen atoms are in this sample? 

b) How many nitrogen atoms are in 2.97 g of nitrous oxide?

 

Expert Solution
Calculating the number of nitrogen atoms:

a)

1 molecule of N2O contains 2 nitrogen atoms,

Hence, 5.30 ×1022 N N2O molecules will contain 5.30×1022 molecules×2 atom1 molecule 

Hence, 5.30 ×1022 N N2O molecules will contain 1.06 ×1023 nitrogen atoms.

Ans: Number of nitrogen atoms 1.06 ×1023 .
