Question

2. Calculate the number of moles represented by the following masses.

Answer 1

a. There are 1.85 moles in 2.00 × 10² g of silver (Ag).

b. There are 0.618 moles in 37.1 g of silicon dioxide (SiO₂)

What is the molar mass?

The molar mass is the mass in grams of 1 mole of particles, that is, the mass in grams of 6.02 × 10²³ particles. The units are g/mol.

We want to calculate the number of moles represented by different masses of different substances. In each case, the conversion factor between mass and moles is the molar mass.

• a. 2.00 × 10² g of silver (Ag)

The molar mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol.

2.00 × 10² g × (1 mol/107.87 g) = 1.85 mol

• b. 37.1 g of silicon dioxide (SiO₂)

The molar mass of silicon dioxide is 60.08 g/mol.

37.1 g × (1 mol/60.08 g) = 0.618 mol

a. There are 1.85 moles in 2.00 × 10² g of silver (Ag).

b. There are 0.618 moles in 37.1 g of silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
