Question

What is the mass in grams of 0.000142 mol of vitamin c

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0250 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molar mass of Vitamin C.

The molar mass is the mass in grams corresponding to 1 mole. In order to calculate the molar mass of vitamin C (C₆H₈O₆) we need to add the molar masses of the elements that compose it.

M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × M(C) + 8 × M(H) + 6 × M(O)

M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × 12.01 g/mol + 8 × 1.01 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol

M(C₆H₈O₆) =  176.14 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.000142 mol of vitamin C.

$0.000142 mol \times \frac{176.14g}{mol} =0.0250 g$
