how do you convert 12.7 mol to molecuels. i thought you just multiply the mol by avagodros number but its wrong.

No, you are correct. One mole contains Avogadro's number of molecules, 6.02 x 10^23, so 12.7 mol contains 12.7*6.02 x 10^23 molecules. It's possible that the answer key is wrong, or else you made a computational error. It could also be the case that you've misunderstood the question, and that the question you asked here is not the question that was actually posed to you.

I'm not completely certain without looking in the book, but I think you have to multiply 12.7 by 6.02 x 10 23(by the 23, I mean 23rd power)

divive 12.7 by Avogadros. remember 1 mol=1 molecule=6.22x10^23.

it is 12.7 x 6.02x10^23 = 7.64 x 10^24
if someone or something says that is wrong, then there is more to the question. like x moles oxygen atoms= ? molecules O2

Hmmm... I assumed the same as you. 6 times 10 to the 23rd

I think you're right.
12.7*6.02*10^23

If its in an equation, you need to multiply by a mole ratio first.

you are right......are you using the right number for avagadros.....
12.7 x 6.022 X10^23
