Hello!
By definition, there are about molecules in each mole of any substance. This number is called Avogadro number and is usually denoted as
If we'll find the number of moles in
grams of nitric acid, we'll know the number of molecules by multiplying it by
Atoms of each type have its own mass. This mass, expressed in grams per mole, may be found in many sources including the periodic table. The values for
and
should be memorized and are about
and
grams per mole, respectively. Therefore the mass of one molecule of
is
Hence we have of nitric acid, and the number of molecules is about
This is the answer.
