Question

Find the mass of 2.16 × 1023 molecules H2S. Answer in units of g.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass = 12.276 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of H₂S = 2.16 × 10²³

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Number of moles of  H₂S:

2.16 × 10²³ molecules × 1 mole /6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.36 moles

Mass = number of moles ×  molar mass

Mass = 0.36 mol × 34.1 g/mol

Mass = 12.276 g
