Question

What is the mass of 7.68 x 1024 molecules of phosphorus trichloride?

Answer 1

Answer:

THE MASS OF 7.68 *10^24 MOLECULES OF PHOSPHORUS TRICHLORIDE IS 1746.25 g.

Explanation:

Molar mass of PCl3 = ( 31 + 35.5 *3) = 137.5 g/mol

At 7.68 * 10^24 molecules, how many number of mole is present?

6.03 * 10^23 molecules = 1 mole

7.68*10^24 molecules = x mole

x mole = 7.68 *10^24 molecules/ 6.03 *10^23

x mole = 1.27 *10 moles

x mole = 12.7 moles

Using mole = mass / molar mass

mass = mole * molar mass

mass = 12.7 moles * 137.5 g/mol

mass = 1746.25 g

Hence, the mass of 7.68 *10^24 molecules is 1746.25 g
