Atoms In 55.8 Grams Of Iron

Which of the following has the same number of atoms as 55.8 grams of Fe?

55.8 g He
32.0 g O3
32.0 g O2
16.0 g O2



stoich

converting g to moles
using molecular weight

58.8 g Fe
(1 mole Fe) / (55.85 g Fe)
= 0.999 moles Fe

grams of Fe

converting moles to atoms
using Avogadro's number

0.999 moles Fe
(6.022 x 1023 atoms) / (1 mole Fe)
= 6.016 x 1023 atoms Fe

atoms

stoich

58.8 g He
(1 mole He) / (4.00 g He)
= 13.95 moles He

grams of He

13.95 moles He
(6.022 x 1023 atoms) / (1 mole He)
= 8.400 x 1023 atoms He

atoms

stoich

32.0 g O3
(1 mole O3) / (48.00 g O3)
= 0.667 moles O3

grams of O3

0.667 moles O3
(6.022 x 1023 atoms) / (1 mole O3)
= 4.017 x 1023 atoms O3

atoms

stoich

32.0 g O2
(1 mole O2) / (32.00 g O2)
= 1.000 mole O2

grams of O2

1.000 mole O2
(6.022 x 1023 atoms) / (1 mole O2)
= 6.022 x 1023 atoms O2

atoms

stoich

16.0 g O2
(1 mole O2) / (32.00 g O2)
= 0.500 moles O2

grams of O2

0.500 moles O2
(6.022 x 1023 atoms) / (1 mole O2)
= 3.011 x 1023 atoms O2

atoms



32.0 g O2 has the same amount of atoms as 58.8 g Fe
