A canister of neon contains 4.8x1024 atoms of the gas. How many moles of neon are present in the canister?

7.97 moles of neon are present in the canister.

Explanation:

Avogadro's constant or "Avogadro's number" is the number of constituent particles found in the amount of substance in one mole.

In other words, Avogadro's number is the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

So, you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023*10²³ atoms are present in 1 mole, 4.8*10²⁴ atoms are present in how many moles?

amount of moles= 7.97 moles

7.97 moles of neon are present in the canister.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
