Question

A chemist weighed out 101. g of beryllium. Calculate the number of moles of beryllium she weighed out.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - 11.209 moles.

Explanation:

According to the definition of moles,

moles = weight/molecular weight

given:

weight of beryllium = 101 g

the molecular weight of beryllium = 9.01

∵ 9.01 g weight of beryllium = 1 mole

∴ 1 g weight of beryllium = 1/9.01 moles

∴ 101 g of beryllium =101/9.01  moles

The = 11.209 moles.
