How many atoms are in 100g of phosphorus vapour
« on: January 14, 2024, 07:48:49 AM »
I got this question during my exam today and i was so confused what i fid did was was get the number of moles which turned out to be 0.803(100÷31×4) and multiplied it by Avogadro's number. Is this right it turmed out to be smth like 4.45×10^23 or 24

That's wrong if the question was how many atoms - not how many P4 molecules.
