How many particles are in one mole?

A. [tex]6.022 \times 10^{23}[/tex]
B. [tex]2.066 \times 10^{23}[/tex]
C. [tex]6.023 \times 10^{22}[/tex]
D. [tex]3.026 \times 10^{22}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine how many particles are in one mole, we need to refer to a fundamental constant in chemistry known as Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is essential for converting between the number of particles and the amount of substance in moles.

Avogadro's number is:
[tex]\[ 6.0219999999999996 \times 10^{23} \][/tex]

This represents the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in one mole of a substance.

Let's match this value to the provided options:

A. [tex]\( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \)[/tex]

B. [tex]\( 2.066 \times 10^{23} \)[/tex]

C. [tex]\( 6.023 \times 10^{22} \)[/tex]

D. [tex]\( 3.026 \times 10^{22} \)[/tex]

Option A, [tex]\( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \)[/tex], closely matches the value we have for Avogadro's number: [tex]\( 6.0219999999999996 \times 10^{23} \)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. [tex]\( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \)[/tex].

So, there are [tex]\( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \)[/tex] particles in one mole.
