Learning Goal: To use Avogadro's number to convert between microscopic units of atoms and molecules to the macroscopic world of chemical experiments. A mole is a unit of matter that represents a known number of particles that is large enough to be weighed on a laboratory balance. One mole of substance contains 6.022×1023 formula units, as shown in the following unit factor:6.022×1023 formula units1 mol substance The value 6.022×1023 is called Avogadro's number. The term formula unit is a generic phrase that can mean a molecule, atom, ion, or whatever is represented by the chemical formula. For example, a mole of He contains 6.022×1023helium atoms. A mole of N2 contains 6.022×1023 diatomic N2 molecules but double that number of nitrogen atoms. |
Part A A flask contains 0.240 mol of liquid bromine, Br2. Determine the number of bromine molecules present in the flask. Express your answer numerically in molecules.

Part B Calculate the mass of 1.00×1024 (a septillion) molecules of water given that the molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol. Express the answer numerically in grams.
Part C The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, C4H10. How many carbon atoms are in 4.00 g of butane given that the molar mass of butane is 58.12 g/mol? Express your answer numerically in atoms.
