How many atoms are in 80.45 g of magnesium? (enter the number in scientific notation with units! )

Hello!

To find the amount of atoms that are in 80.45 grams of magnesium, we will need to know Avogadro's number and the mass of one mole of magnesium.

Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, and one mole of magnesium is equal to 24.31 grams.

1. Divide by one mole of magnesium

80.45 / 24.31 = 3.309 moles (rounded to the number of sigfigs)

2. Multiply moles by Avogadro's number

3.309 x (6.02 x 10^23) = 1.99 x 10^24 (rounded to the number of sigfigs)

Therefore, there are 1.99 x 10^24 atoms in 80.45 grams of magnesium.
