Question

A sample of calcium oxide (CaO) has a mass of 2.80 g. The molar mass of CaO is 56.08 g/mol. How many moles of CaO does this sample contain?

Answer 1

Answer is "0.05 mol".

Explanation;

We can do calculation by using a simple formula as

n = m/M

Where, n is the number of moles of the substance (mol), m is the mass of the substance (g) and M is the molar mass of the substance (g/mol).

Here,

n = ?

m = 2.80 g

M = 56.08 g/mol

By substitution,

n = 2.80 g /56.08 g/mol

n = 0.0499 mol ≈ 0.05 mol

Answer 2
