Question

Calculate the mass of 2.50 mol of CH,OH(1). Show your work. Use the appropriate

Answer 1

Answer:

80.1 grams

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of CH3OH first by using the periodic table values.

12.011 g/mol C + (1.008*3 g/mol H) + 15.999g/mol O + 1.008 g/mol H

=32.042 so that is the molar mass

Now that you have 2.50 moles of CH3OH, you can calculate the mass in g

2.50molCH3OH * (32.042g CH3OH / 1 mol CH3OH) = 80.105

32.042g / 1 mol is the same as 32.042 g/mol

Since there are 3 sig figs in the problem (2.50 has 3 sig figs), you round to 80.1 g CH3OH
