calculate the ratio of atoms present in 5g of magnesium and 5g of iron...?
(Atomic mass of Mg=24u , Fe=56u )
No. of atoms of Magnesium in 5g of Mg = given mass/molar mass x avogadro no.
= 5 / 24 x 6.023 x 10-23 = 0.20 x 6.023 x 10-23
Similarly no. of atoms of Fe in 5g of Fe = 5/56 x 6.023 x 10-23 = 0.08 x 6.023 x 10-23
Hence ratio of no. of atoms present in 5 gm of each element,
Mg/ Fe = 0.20 x 6.023 x 10-23 / 0.08 x 6.023 x 10-23
Mg/Fe = 0.20/0.08 =5/2
Hence, Mg : Fe = 5:2
