  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

2.3 × 10²⁴ formula units KNO₃

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g.mol

Molar Mass of KNO₃ - 39.10 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 101.11 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />2.3 \cdot 10^{24} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ KNO_3}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ formula \ units \ KNO_3} )(\frac{101.11 \ g \ KNO_3}{1 \ mol \ KNO_3} ) = 386.172 g KNO₃

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

386.172 g KNO₃ ≈ 390 g KNO₃

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Tables
  • Moles

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Analyzing Reactions RxN
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

  1. [DA] Set up conversion:                                                                                 \displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})
  2. [DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         \displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH
