To find the mass, you need to (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's Number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table values). It is important to arrange the ratios/ conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 4 sig figs to reflect the given value (2.408 x 10²⁴).
Avogadro's Number:
1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ molecules
tetraphosphorus decaoxide = P₄O₁₀
Molar Mass (P₄O₁₀): 4(30.974 g/mol) + 10(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (P₄O₁₀): 283.876 g/mol
2.408 x 10²⁴ molecules P₄O₁₀ 1 mole 283.876 g ------------------------------------------- x ------------------------------------ x ----------------- 6.022 x 10²³ molecules 1 mole
That is the free radical generated in bromination of propane is (CH₃)₂CH° and CH₃CH₂CH₂° , but due to more stability of secondary free radical , (CH₃)₂CH° is more stable than that of CH₃CH₂CH₂°, so reaction proceeds via (CH₃)₂CH° radical. and than at termination the the product formed will be (CH₃)₂CH-CH(CH₃)₂.
