Question

What is the mass, in grams, of 1.26 mol of water, H2O?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of 1.26 mole of water, H₂O, is 22.68 grams

Explanation:

Molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole. In other words, the molar mass of an atom or a molecule is the mass of one mole of that particle and its unit is g/mole.

In this case, being:

• H: 1 g/mole
• O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of water H₂O is:

H₂O= 2*1 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 18 g/mole

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 18 grams are present in 1 mole of H2O, how much mass is present in 1.26 moles of water?

$mass=\frac{1.26 moles*18 grams}{1 mole}$

mass= 22.68 grams

The mass of 1.26 mole of water, H₂O, is 22.68 grams
