2. How many moles are found in 3.2 x 1023 atoms of NaCl?

0.53 mol NaCl

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

3.2 × 10²³ atoms NaCl

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's number

Step 3: Convert

= 0.531385 mol NaCl

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.531385 mol NaCl ≈ 0.53 mol NaCl

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
