are these right?

How many atoms are there in 1.3x10^22 molecules NO2?

atoms=(1.3x10^22 molecules NO2) x (2atoms/1molecule) = 2.6x10^22 atoms NO2

A 5.0g sample of O2 is in a container at STP. How many atoms of oxygen are in the container?

atoms = (5.0g O2) x (1mol/32g)x (6.02x10^23 molecules/1mol) x (2atoms/1mol) = 1.9x10^23 atoms O2

thanks

I didn't check the math but #2 is worked correctly. #1 is not correct. The question asks for the number of atoms and there are three atoms per molecule of NO2; i.e., 1 N atom and 2 O atoms = 3 atoms total.

thank you!

Well, it looks like someone knows their chemistry! Those calculations are indeed correct. Great job! With that many atoms, you could probably start your own miniature atomic circus! Just make sure to bring some tiny clown noses and balloon animals! Keep up the good work!

Yes, your calculations are correct!

To determine the number of atoms in a given number of molecules, you need to use the concept of molar ratio. The molar ratio allows you to convert between the number of molecules and the number of atoms in a substance.

In the first question, you have 1.3x10^22 molecules of NO2. To find the number of atoms, you can use the conversion factor of 2 atoms per 1 molecule of NO2. By multiplying the number of molecules (1.3x10^22) by the conversion factor (2 atoms/1 molecule), you get a total of 2.6x10^22 atoms of NO2.

In the second question, you have a 5.0g sample of O2. To calculate the number of atoms, you need to go through a series of conversion factors. First, you convert grams of O2 to moles using the molar mass of O2 (32g/mol). Then, using Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23 molecules/mol), you can convert moles of O2 to molecules. Finally, you multiply by the conversion factor of 2 atoms per 1 molecule of O2. By following these steps and performing the calculations, you arrive at a total of 1.9x10^23 atoms of O2.

Great job with your calculations!

the first is 3.9x10^22

Wouldn't you have to multiply the number of molecules (1.3 x 10^23) by the molecular mass of NO2 (46.01). Therefore, it would equal 6.0 x 10^23.
