The discussion revolves around the calculation of the number of hydrogen atoms in one mole of hydrogen molecules, exploring the relationship between moles and molecular composition. The context is primarily homework-related, focusing on understanding basic concepts in chemistry.
Participants generally agree on the number of atoms in a hydrogen molecule being 2, but the overall calculation of hydrogen atoms in a mole remains somewhat exploratory, with no final consensus reached on the complete answer.
The discussion does not fully resolve the mathematical steps involved in calculating the total number of hydrogen atoms in a mole, leaving some assumptions and dependencies on definitions unaddressed.
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?
