How many moles are in 3.14 x 1023 atoms of chlorine Cl2?

How can you have atoms of Cl2? Cl2 is a diatomic molecule, so you would have 3.14E23 molecules of Cl2 or 6.28E23 atoms of Cl. I think you should ask your teacher which they meant.

Hi there! I'm also a Chemistry major so I can help you with this problem.


For determining how many moles something is, we need to use Avogadro's number: 6.022 E 23. In one mole of anything, there is always 6.022 E 23 of that thing. For instance, 1 mole of bananas is 6.022 E 23, which is a lot!!


For this problem, you would simply divide the number of atoms by 6.022 E 23 to find how many moles that would be.


I hope this helps! Please reach out if you have any further questions.
