Blimps are essentially very large helium filled balloons. If a blimp contains 536 kg of helium,how many helium atoms are present inside the blimp?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of helium atoms, we use the formula: number of atoms = (mass of helium / molar mass of helium) x Avogadro's number. The molar mass of helium is 4 g/mol, and Avogadro's number is approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol. Converting 536 kg to grams gives 536,000 g. Thus, (536,000 g / 4 g/mol) x 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol = 8.06 x 10^28 helium atoms.
