Use dimensional analysis to solve the following problems. Pay attention to correct use of units and correct use of significant figures in calculations. Please show work! Convert 3.00 x 10^21 atoms of copper to moles.

Convert 2.25 x 10^18 molecules of carbon dioxide to moles.

1) 0.00498 mol Cu.

2) 0.00000374 mol CO₂

Explanation:

Question 1)

We want to convert 3.00 * 10²¹ copper atoms into moles. Note that 3.00 is three significant figures.

Recall that by definition, one mole of a substance has exactly 6.022 * 10²³ amount of that substance. In other words, we have the ratio:

We are given 3.00 * 10²¹ Cu. To cancel out the Cu, we can multiply it by our above ratio with Cu in the denominator. Hence:

Cancel like terms:

Simplify:

Use a calculator:

Since the resulting answer must have three significant figures:

So, 3.00 * 10²¹ copper atoms is equivalent to approximately 0.00498 moles of copper.

Question 2)

We want to convert 2.25 * 10¹⁸ molecules of carbon dioxide into moles. Note that 2.25 is three significant digits.

By definition, there will be 6.022 * 10²³ carbon dioxide molecules in one mole of carbon dioxide. Hence:

To cancel the carbon dioxide from 2.25 * 10¹⁸, we can multiply it by the above ratio with the carbon dioxide in the denominator. Hence:

Cancel like terms:

Simplify:

Use a calculator:

Since the resulting answer must have three significant figures:

So, 2.25 * 10¹⁸ molecules of carbon dioxide is equivalent to approximately 0.00000374 moles of carbon dioxide.
