Practice Avogadro's Number in Chemistry

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

The defined number of particles in exactly one mole of any substance: 6.022 \times 10^{23}.

A mind-bogglingly large number โ€” but it's exactly the right size to make atomic counting practical.

Example 1

easy
How many molecules are in 2.5 mol of \text{CO}_2?

Example 2

medium
How many individual oxygen atoms are in 1.5 mol of \text{H}_2\text{O}?

Example 3

medium
How many molecules are in 2.5 moles of water (\text{H}_2\text{O})? How many individual atoms is that?

Example 4

easy
How many atoms are in 0.50 mol of iron (Fe)?

Example 5

medium
How many chloride ions are in 0.200 mol of \text{CaCl}_2?
