Answer:
The answer is 1.61 × 10²³ atoms
Explanation:
To determine number of atoms, we will use the formula below
Number of atoms = number of moles (n) × avogadro's constant (6.02 x 10²³)
n was not provided, hence we will solve for n
n = mass/ molar mass
molar mass of carbon monoxide, CO (where C is 12 and O is 16) is 12 + 16 = 28
mass was provided in the question as 7.48
n = 7.48/28
n = 0.267
Hence,
number of atoms = 0.267 × 6.02 x 10²³
= 1.61 × 10²³ atoms
