Question

Identify the number of moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide. Use the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource.

Answer 1

Answer : The number of moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide is, 4.98 moles

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium hydroxide = 369 g

Molar mass of calcium hydroxide = 74.093 g/mole

Formula used :

$\text{Moles of calcium hydroxide}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium hydroxide}}{\text{Molar mass of calcium hydroxide}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the moles of calcium hydroxide.

$\text{Moles of calcium hydroxide}=\frac{369g}{74.093g/mole}=4.98mole$

Therefore, the number of moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide is, 4.98 moles
