Atomic mass silicon = 28.085 u
1 mol Si ---------------- 28.085 g
? ------------------------ 245 g
245 x 1 / 28.085 => 8.72 mol
answer A
Right answer is B . Trust me .
Hey there!
We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.
Hope this helps!
The molecular weight of a given compound would simply the
sum of the molar weights of each component.
The molar masses of the elements are:
C = 12 amu
H = 1 amu
N = 14 amu
O = 16 amu
where 1 amu = 1 g / mol
Since there are 6 C, 5 H, 1 N and 2 O, therefore the
total molecular weight is:
molecular weight = 6 (12 amu) + 5 (1 amu) + 1 (14 amu) +
2 (16 amu)
molecular weight = 123 amu
Therefore the molecular weight of nitrobenzene is 123 amu
or which is exactly equivalent to 123 g / mol.
