In chemistry class, Carlos calculated the number of molecules in 100 moles. The calculator displayed the number 6.02E25. What is the number of molecules in 100 moles in scientific notation? (1 point)

Question

6.02*10²⁵

6.02*25

6.02+10²⁵

25*10⁶.⁰²

Answer 1

The number of molecules in 100 moles can be calculated using Avogadro's number, which is approximately \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) molecules per mole. Therefore, in 100 moles, the number of molecules would be:

\[ 100 , \text{moles} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} , \text{molecules/mole} = 6.02 \times 10^{25} , \text{molecules} \]

So, the correct answer in scientific notation is:

6.02 * 10²⁵.
