Question

Convert 3.01 x 10^24 molecules of ammonium sulfate to mass

Answer 1

Mass  of ammonium sulfate = 660.7 g

Further explanation

Given

3.01 x 10²⁴ molecules of ammonium sulfate

Required

mass

Solution

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance  

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

mol ammonium sulfate (NH₄)₂SO₄ :

n = N : No

n = 3.01 x 10²⁴ : 6.02 x 10²³

n = 5

mass ammonium sulfate :

= mol x MW

= 5 x 132,14 g/mol

= 660.7 g
