Question

If 26.2 grams of a pure compound contain 8.77 × 1022 molecules, what is the molecular weight of this compound? Answer in units of g/mol.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mw = 179.845 g/mol

Explanation:

• Mw [=] g/mol

∴ w = 26.2 g

∴ 1 mol = 6.02 E23 molecules.......Avogadro's number

⇒N° moles = 8.77 E22 molecules * ( mol / 6.02 E23 molecules ) = 0.146 mol

⇒ Mw = 26.2 g / 0.146 mol = 179.845 g/mol
