What is the total number of hydrogen atoms in 0.300 mol of hydrazine, N2H4? (Avogadro constant = 6.02 × 10^23 mol^-1)

  1. 7.22 × 10^23
  2. 1.20 × 10^24
  3. 1.81 × 10^24
  4. 2.41 × 10^24
Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer

A. 7.22 × 10^23

Principle or equation

The number of atoms of a specific element in a sample is obtained by multiplying the amount of substance (in moles) by the number of atoms of that element per formula unit and then by Avogadro's constant.

Why this answer is correct

Each molecule of N2H4 contains 4 hydrogen atoms. Therefore, moles of H atoms = 0.300 mol × 4 = 1.20 mol. Number of H atoms = 1.20 mol × 6.02 × 10^23 mol^-1 = 7.224 × 10^23, which rounds to 7.22 × 10^23.

Example

For 0.500 mol of H2O, the number of H atoms = 0.500 × 2 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 6.02 × 10^23.
