How many Nickel atoms are present in 25 g Ni(MW of Nickel is 58.71 g) ?

  • A.52.7 \(\times 10^{23}\) atoms of Ni
  • B.25.7 \(\times 10^{23}\) atoms of Ni
  • C.2.57 \(\times 10^{23}\) atoms of Ni
  • D.5.27 \(\times 10^{23}\) atoms of Ni

Answer: C

25 g of nickel contains about 2.57 × 1023 atoms.

Divide the mass by the molar mass to get moles, then multiply by Avogadro's number:

\[ \begin{aligned} n &= \frac{25}{58.71} = 0.426\ \text{mol} \\ N &= 0.426 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \\ &\approx 2.56 \times 10^{23} \end{aligned} \]

This rounds to the 2.57 × 1023 of the key. The other options are slips of the decimal point or digits: 25.7 and 52.7 × 1023 are ten and twenty times too many atoms, which would need about 250 g or 500 g of nickel, and 5.27 × 1023 would need about 51 g.
