Approximately how many particles are in 3 moles

18.066 × 10²³ particles

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 3 moles

Number of particles = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 3 moles of substance:

One mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles

3 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ particles/ 1 mol = 18.066 × 10²³ particles
