One mole of hydrogen molecules (H2) contains 2 times Avogadro's number, which is 6.02 x 1023 molecules per mole. Therefore, there are 1.204 x 1024 hydrogen atoms in one mole of hydrogen molecules. The discussion clarifies that a mole is a counting unit, similar to a dozen, and emphasizes the distinction between molecules and individual atoms. Understanding this concept is crucial for accurate calculations in chemistry.
PREREQUISITESChemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding molecular calculations and the concept of moles in chemical reactions.
Would there be 2 atoms in one molecule?phyzguy said:Almost. A mole is just a number, like a dozen. What if I said, "How many shoes are there in a dozen pairs of shoes?" This question is like that. How many hydrogen atoms are in a hydrogen molecule?
Haha.epenguin said:Yes. Someone must have told you, it's impossible to guess.
Sace Ver said:Would there be 2 atoms in one molecule?
Would that be 2 multiplied by Avogadro's constant?phyzguy said:Yes. So how many hydrogen atoms are there in a mole of hydrogen molecules?
