What is the number of zinc atoms in a piece of zinc weighing 10 g? (Atomic mass of Zn = 65 u)


Mass of zinc = 10g
gram atomic mass of zinc = 65g
We know that one mole of zinc contains 6.022 × 1023 atoms of zinc.
65g of zinc contain = 6.022 × 1023 atoms
Therefore, 10g of zinc contain = (10 × 6.022 × 1023)/65
= 9.264 × 1022 atoms
Therefore, 10 grams of zinc contain 9.264 × 1022 atoms.
