An instrument requires a molecular sample containing 3.61 × 1023 atoms.
A technician can use one of four samples.
| Sample | Substance | Formula | Mass in g |
|---|---|---|---|
| P | carbon monoxide | CO\mathrm{CO}CO | 5.60 |
| Q | water | H2O\mathrm{H_2O}H2O | 3.60 |
| R | sulfur dioxide | SO2\mathrm{SO_2}SO2 | 6.41 |
| S | methane | CH4\mathrm{CH_4}CH4 | 9.60 |
Avogadro constant = 6.02 × 1023 particles per mole
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): H = 1.0 C = 12.0 O = 16.0 S = 32.1
Which sample should the technician use?
Sample Q
Sample P
Sample S
Sample R
