Answer:
Number of moles = 10.6 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Molar mass of H = 1.008 g/mol
Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol
Mass of citric acid = 2.03 kg (2.03×1000 = 2030 g)
Number of moles of citric acid = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Now we will calculate the molar mass of citric acid:
C₆H₈O₇ = (12.01× 6) + (1.008×8) + (16.00×7)
C₆H₈O₇ = 72.06 + 8.064+112
C₆H₈O₇ = 192.124g/mol
Number of moles = 2030 g/ 192.124g/mol
Number of moles = 10.6 mol
