Determine the number of molecules in 14.0 g of nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

The number of molecules in 14.0g of is 1.806* 10^23

Explanation:

We were given;

Mass = 14.0g of

First of all, we will calculate the molecular mass(MM) of

Atomic number of Nitrogen, N=14  

Atomic number of Oxygen, O=16

MM of NO_2 = (14+{16*2})

MM of NO_2 = (14+32) = 46g/mol

Also, we find the number of moles in using the formula below;

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molecular mass}}

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{14}{46}

\text{Number of moles}=0.3moles

Nitrogen dioxide, therefore has 0.3moles.

In Chemistry, we know 1\text{ mole}=6.022\times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}

So, 0.3\text{ mole}=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 0.3\text{ molecules}

0.3\text{ mole}=1.806\times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}

Therefore, The number of molecules in 14g of is 1.806 × 10^23

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

the formula mass of a molecule or a compound is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula

(that's what i know about formula mass)
