Question

How do you Convert 62 grams of Oxygen to moles

Answer 1

Answer: 1.9 moles

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine how many grams of a substance are in the problem.

  From the question; we have 62 grams of Oxygen

Step 2: With the aid of a periodic table, the atomic mass of Oxygen is 16g, but since oxygen is diatomic i.e O2, it's molecular mass would be 32g.

Step 3: Applying the mathematical expression for finding moles

            Moles = Mass/ Molar Mass

                       = 62g/ 32 g

                       =  1.9

∴ 62g of oxygen is equivalent to 1.9 moles.
