QJEEM02Ch3481: JEE Main 2002 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM02Ch3481 Solution: Number of atoms in 558.5 gram Fe (at. wt. of Fe = 55.85 g mol…

Number of atoms in 558.5 gram Fe (at. wt. of Fe = 55.85 g mol-1) is

Multiple Choice Options

  • A twice that in 60 g carbon
  • B 6.023 × 1022
  • C half that in 8 g He
  • D 558.5 × 6.023 × 1023

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Number of moles of Fe in 558.5 gm of Fe is

= 558.555.85

= 10

∴ Number moles of Fe in 558.5 gm Fe is = 10

Since here Fe is monoatomic then no. of atoms in 10 moles Fe is

⇒ 10 × 1 × NA

⇒ 10 NA

For Option (A) Atomic Mass of Carbon is 12 g then no. of moles in 60 g Carbon is

⇒ 6012=5

Here Carbon is also monoatomic then no. of atoms in 5 moles of Carbon

⇒ 5 × 1 × NA

⇒ 5 NA

Now we can clearly see 10 is twice of 5, so option (A) is correct.
