Answer:
The number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles
Explanation:
The molecular formula of benzaldehyde is C₇H₆O
Its molecular mass is calculated from the atomic masses of the constituent atoms.
C = 12.0 g: H = 1.0 g; O = 16.0 g
Molecular mass = ( 12 * 7) + (1 * 6) + (16 * 1) = 106.0 g/mol
Number of moles of substance = mass of substance/ molar mass of the substance
mass of benzaldehyde = 2.68; molar mass = 106.0 g/mol
Number of moles of benzaldehyde = 2.68 g/ 106 g/mol = 0.0253 moles
Therefore, the number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles
