Question

A gold sample contains 90% of gold and the rest copper. How many atoms of gold are present in one gram of this sample of gold?

Answer in Brief

Solution

1 g of gold sample contains = `90/100`

= 0.9g gold

Number of moles of gold = `"Mass of gold"/"Atomic mass of gold"`

= `0.9/197`

= 0.0046

1 mole of gold contains = 6.022 × 1023 atoms

0.0046 mole of gold = 6.022 × 1023 × 0.0046

= 2.77 × 1021 atoms
