Question

How many grams are 3.01 × 1023 molecules of CuSO4?

Answer 1

Answer is: 79.8 grams of copper(II) sulfate.
N(CuSO₄) = 3.01·10²³; number of molecules.
n(CuSO₄) = N(CuSO₄) ÷ Na.
n(CuSO₄) = 3.01·10²³ ÷ 6.02·10²³ 1/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 0.5 mol; amount of substance.
m(CuSO₄) = n(CuSO₄) · M(CuSO₄).
m(CuSO₄) = 0.5 mol · 159.6 g/mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 79.8 g; mass of substance.
M - molar mass.
