Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O

What is the mass of 2.90 ×1022 molecules of NaOH (Molar mass = 40.0 g/mol)?
ivann1987 [24]
40.0 g ( 1 mole ) --------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
      ? ? --------------------------- 2.90x10²² molecules

mass = 2.90x10²² * 40.0 /  6.02x10²³

mass = 1.16x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³

mass = 1.9269 g

hope this helps!
