Q16 of 29 Page 85

Calculate the number of particles in each of the following

46g of Na

The number of particles present in one mole of any substance is has a fixed value of 6.022 × 1023. This number is called Avogadro constant(NA).


Mass of Na = 46g


Molar mass of Na = 23u


Apply the formula given below:


Number of particles = number of moles × 6.022 × 1023




Number of particles = 2 × 6.022 × 1023


Number of particles = 12.046 × 1023


Thus, 46g of Na contains 12.046 × 1023 particles.
