Number of molecules = 2 moles × Avogadro’s number
2 moles × 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mole is the number of molecules.
The number of Cl₂ molecules is 1.2044 x 1023.
To determine the total number of chlorine atoms, you must double the number of molecules because each Cl₂ molecule contains two Cl atoms:
Total number of Cl atoms = 1.2044 x 1024 molecules of Cl₂ × 2 Cl atoms/molecule
Total number of Cl atoms = 2.4088 x 1024 chlorine (Cl) atoms = 2 x 2 x 6.02 x 1023 atoms.
