How do you convert from grams to moles?
1 answer:
Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.
Example:
There are 5g of water.
Calculate the amount of moles.
The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is
g/mol.
The amount of moles is:
5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol

Answer:
a. Moles of = 0.001643 moles
b. 0.296 g
c. 0.3098 g
d. Not acceptable
Explanation:
a.
Considering:
Or,
Given :
For :
Molarity = 0.1052 M
Volume = 15.62 mL
The conversion of mL to L is shown below:
1 mL = 10⁻³ L
Thus, volume = 15.62×10⁻³ L
Thus, moles of :
Moles of = 0.001643 moles
b.
The reaction of NaOH with the acetylsalicylic acid is in the ratio of 1:1.
Thus, Moles of NaOH = Moles of acetylsalicylic acid = 0.001643 moles
Molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 180.16 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.001643 moles * 180.16 g/mol = 0.296 g
c.
1.159 g of sample contains 0.296 g of acetylsalicylic acid
1.213 g of sample contains g of acetylsalicylic acid
Mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 0.3098 g = 309.8 mg
d. Sample contains = 309.8 mg
Manufacturer claiming = 315 mg to 335 mg
Thus , it is not acceptable.
