So my physics class is just starting on electrostatics. It's simple but one of the problems gives me 1g of Hydrogen, and I'm to figure out to electrostatic force if you were to separate the protons and electrons and place them some distance apart. So basically, I need to know how many atoms are in 1 gram of hydrogen.
I think I vaguely from my AP chem class last year but I'm not certain I'm doing this right, just wanna check.
1g H x (1 mole)/(1.00794g H) x (6.022e23 atoms)/(1 mole)
=6.022e23 atoms in 1g of H
I realize hydrogen is a bad example since it's molar mass is almost one, but I just wanted to make sure the method was right for when I run into this again in the future.
