Hello!
To find the mass of helium, we need to multiply the total moles by the mass of helium. We are given 2.714 moles of helium, and the mass of helium is about 4.00 grams. Now, we multiply the two values together to get the grams.
2.714 moles x 4.00 grams = 10.856 grams
According to the number of significant figures, 2.714 moles of helium has a mass of 10.9 grams (exact value: 10.856 grams).
Answer:
9.8 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Moles
- Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
<u>Organic</u>
<u>Stoichiometry</u>
- Analyzing reaction rxn
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Unbalanced] CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
[Given] 130 g CH₄
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Avogadro's Number
[RxN] 1 mol CH₄ → 2 mol H₂O
[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of H: 1.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of CH₄: 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>
