Convert 35.5 g of NH₃ to particles.

(Answer in particles, rounded to 3 significant figures)

Answer :

Final answer:

To convert 35.5g of NH3 to particles, determine the number of moles based on the molar mass of NH3 (17.03 g/mol) and then multiply by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 particles/mol).

Explanation:

To convert 35.5g of NH3 to particles, we first need to calculate the number of moles of NH3 in 35.5 grams. We can do this using the molar mass of NH3, which is approximately 17.03 g/mol (14.01 g/mol for nitrogen and 3 x 1.01 g/mol for hydrogen).

Moles of NH3 = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol) = 35.5 g / 17.03 g/mol. Now calculate the number of moles.

Number of particles can be found by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 x 1023 particles/mol. This will give us the total number of NH3 particles.
