We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. Follow this method. A nickel coin has a mass of about 4.2 g. Find the number of atoms in a nickel coin. Each mole (6.02 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of about 57.8 g. Answer in units of atoms

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of atoms is [tex]N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                 The mass of coin  is [tex]m_n = 4.2g[/tex]

                   Number of atom in one mole = [tex]n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms[/tex]

                   Molar mass of nickel [tex]M = 57.8g[/tex]

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in  the  nickel coin is

                        [tex]N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel } * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\ mole\ of\ nickel[/tex]

                           [tex]= \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}[/tex]

                           [tex]=4.37 *10^{22} atoms[/tex]
