Consider a random mixture containing particles of na2so4 and k2so4. there are 11.53 g of na2so4 (density 2.639 g/ml) and 88.47 g of k2so4 (density 2.467 g/ml) in the mixture. all particles in the mixture have a uniform spherical radius of 0.075 mm.
a. calculate the mass of a single particle of na2so4 and the number of na2so4 particles in the mixture.

Since it talks about the number of particles, we would need the Avogadro's number which is an empirical value equal to 6.022×10²³ particles/mole. The other information that we have to know is the molar mass of Na₂SO₄ which is 142.04 g/mol.

Mass of a single particle of Na₂SO₄:
(142.04 grams Na₂SO₄/mol) * (1 mol/6.022×10²³ particles) = 2.359×10⁻²² g
Thus, each Na₂SO₄ weighs 2.359×10⁻²² g.

Number of Na₂SO₄ particles in the mixture:
(11.53 g Na₂SO₄) * (1 mol/142.04 g) * (6.022×10²³ particles/mol) = 4.89×10²² particles
Thus, the mixture contains 4.89×10²² particles is Na₂SO₄.
