Answer :
The total number of atoms in 0.160g of P2O5 is 3 x 10^21 atoms.
What are atoms?
Atoms are defined as a smallest unit into which a matter can be divided without the release of electrically charged particles.
First calculate the number of mole of P2O5
Mass of P2O5 = 0.160 g
Molar mass of P2O5 = 142g/mole
Number of mole of P2O5 = mass/ molar mass
n = 0.160/142 g/mole
n = 0.0011 mole of P2O5
One mole of P2O5 has five mole of oxygen.
Using conversion factor
= 0.0011 mole of P2O5 x [ 5 mole of oxygen/ 1 mole of P2O5]
= 0.0055 mole of oxygen
Total number of atoms = 0.0055 x 6.02 x 10^23 atom/mole
= 3 x 10^21 atoms
Thus, the total number of atoms in 0.160g of P2O5 is 3 x 10^21 atoms.
