How many atoms are in 12 grams of naoh

There are 5.4 × 10^23 atoms in 12 g NaOH .

Step 1. Convert grams of NaOH to moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 12 g NaOH × (1 mol NaOH /40.00 g NaOH)

= 0.300 mol NaOH

Step 2. Convert moles of NaOH to formula units (FU) of NaOH

FU of NaOH = 0.300 mol NaOH × (6.022 × 10^23 Fu NaOH/1 mol NaOH)

= 1.81 × 10^23 FU NaOH

Step 3. Convert FU of NaOH to atoms

1.81 × 10^23 FU NaOH × (3 atoms/1 FU NaOH) = 5.4 × 10^23 atoms

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

dynamic equilibrium is the answer.
