Atoms and Molecules

Question:

Which has more number of atoms, 100 grams of sodium or 100 grams of iron (given, atomic mass of Na = 23 u, Fe = 56 u)?

Answer:

We know that, 1 mol of atoms of an element has mass = gram atomic mass.
∴ mass of 1 mol of Na atoms = 23g
Or 23g of Na has = 1 mol of atoms
∴ 100g of Na = 100/23 = 4.35 moles

Similarly, 56g of Fe has = 1 mol of atoms
∴ 100g of Fe has = 100/56 = 2.17 moles
⇒ 100g of Na has more number of atoms than 100g of Fe.
