To determine the number of atoms of chlorine in 445g of lead chloride (PbCl2), you need to calculate the number of moles of PbCl2 in 445g and then multiply it by the number of chlorine atoms in one PbCl2 molecule. First, calculate the number of moles of PbCl2 using the formula: moles = mass / molar mass. The molar mass of PbCl2 is 278.1 g/mol, so moles = 445g / 278.1 g/mol = 1.6 moles. Since there are two chlorine atoms in one molecule of PbCl2, the total number of chlorine atoms is 2 * 1.6 moles = 3.2 moles of chlorine atoms. To convert moles to atoms, multiply by Avogadro's number. Therefore, there are 3.2 moles * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mole = 1.9264 x 10^24 atoms of chlorine in 445g of PbCl2.
