Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Step 1: Define
2.3 × 10²⁴ formula units KNO₃
Step 2: Identify Conversions
Avogadro's Number
Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol
Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g.mol
Molar Mass of KNO₃ - 39.10 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 101.11 g/mol
Step 3: Convert
[tex]2.3 \cdot 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ KNO_3}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3} )(\frac{101.11 \ g \ KNO_3}{1 \ mol \ KNO_3} )[/tex] = 386.172 g KNO₃
Step 4: Check
We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.
386.172 g KNO₃ ≈ 390 g KNO₃
