- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[Given] 993.6 g K₂SO₄
[Solve] moles K₂SO₄
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[PT] Molar Mass of K: 39.10 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of S: 32.07 g/mol
[PT] Molar mass of O: 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of K₂SO₄: 2(39.10) + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 174.27 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
- [DA] Set up:
- [DA] Divide [Cancel out units]:
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 4 sig figs.</em>
5.7015 mol K₂SO₄ ≈ 5.702 mol K₂SO₄
