2. Convert each of the following from moles (mol) to number of molecules. Please provide the
appropriate number of significant figures for your answer.
Avogadro’s number!
3. Without doing any calculations, predict whether the number of moles will be greater or less than 1
for each number of molecules given below.
4. Without doing any calculations, predict whether the number of molecules will be greater or less
than Avogadro’s number (6.022 1023) for each number of moles given below.
a) 1.06 moles
1.06 moles is greater than 1, so the number of molecules will be greater than
Avogadro’s number (6.022 1023).
b) 0.98 moles
3
0.98 moles is less than 1, so the number of molecules will be less than Avogadro’s
number (6.022 1023).
c) 8.96 moles
8.96 moles is much greater than 1, so the number of molecules will be much greater
than Avogadro’s number (6.022 1023).
5. A student has a sample containing 1.94 1026 copper (I) iodide molecules. How many grams of
copper (I) iodide does the student have?
You need to convert the # molecules to moles, then convert moles to grams. The
“bridge” between moles and # molecules is Avogadro’s number.

6. A student has a 3.64 g sample of CuCNS. How many molecules of CuCNS exist in this sample?
The strategy involves converting mass to moles, then moles to # molecules using
Avogadro’s number.
