Number of nanoparticles in 1 gram?
Here is an example:
Gold (Au) Nanoparticles / Nanopowder (Au, 99.95+%, 15 nm)
For US1054, Number of nanoparticles in 1 gram=2.929 x 1016
Density of Au is 19.32 g/cm3
Volume of 1 gram Au = 1/19.32=5.176x10-2 cm3
For spherical nanoparticles of 15 nm, volume of one particle = 4/3 x Pi x (7.5 x 10-7)3 cm3 = 1.767 x 10-18 cm3
Therefore, number of nanoparticles in 1 gram = [5.176 x 10-2]/[1.767 x 10-18] = 2.929 x 1016 nanoparticles
