Question

What is the mass of 0.20 mole of C₂H6O (ethanol)?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.2-g of ethanol

Explanation:

The question is asking for us to solve for the mass of ethanol given the moles of it.

We can do this by going from mol -> grams using the molar mass of ethanol (46.068g).

Start off with the moles given (0.20mol) and multiply it by the molar mass of ethanol (46.068g).

This would give the mass of 9.214-g, but since our question has only 2 significant figures, round off your final answer to the same number of sig. figs.

So your final answer would be 9.2-g of ethanol.

***Molar mass is calculated by adding the masses of each element (found in periodic table) by how many times they are in the molecules.
