Answer:
Explanation:
The answer is 9.03 × 10²⁴ molecules.
Avogadro’s number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance.
Make the proportion.
6.02 × 10²³ molecules per 1 mol
x per 15 mol
6.02 × 10²³ molecules : 1 mol = x : 15 mol
x = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules * 15 mol * 1 mol
x = 90.3 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²³⁺¹ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²⁴ molecules
