Answer is: polystyrene.
Expanded polystyrene is used to manufacture foam cups.
Polystyrene production is several million tonnes per year.
Polystyrene is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer made from the monomer styrene.
Styrene (ethenylbenzene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅CH=CH₂. It is a colorless oily liquid.
Given:
n = 0.0021 mol
M = 44 gram/mol
Required: m or the mass of the molecule
Solution:
M = m/n
Rearranging the expression,
m = M x n
m = 44 g/mol x 0.0021 mol
Evaluating the expression and cancelling units, we obtain,
m = 0.0924 grams
M is the molar mass. This value is very useful in chemistry calculations especially in calculating the amounts of reactants and products for a chemical reaction.
