How many water molecules are in a block of ice containing 2.25 mol of water (H2O)?
2.25 moles of water ---> ? molecules of water
For this you have to use Avogadro's Number which is 6.022×10²³ molecules
\(\frac{2.25 moles}{} * \frac{6.022x10 x^{23} }{1 mol} = 1.35495x10 x^{24}\)
Answer: \(13.5\times 10^{23}\) molecules
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 Liters at STP and contains avogadro's number \(6.023\times 10^{23}\) of particles.
Now 1 mole of \(H_2O\) molecule contains = \(6.023\times 10^{23}\) of molecules.
2.25 mole of \(H_2O\) molecule contains= \(\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 2.25=13.5\times 10^{23}\) molecules.
\(13.5\times 10^{23}\) molecules are there in 2.25 moles of water.
