Question

What is the mass of 1.71 ✕ 1023 molecules of h2so4?

Answer 1

The equation for calculating a mass is as follows:

m=n×M

Molar mass (M) we can determine from Ar that can read in a periodical table, and a number of moles we can calculate from the available date for N:

n(H2SO4)=N/NA

n(H2SO4)= 1.7×10²³ / 6 × 10²³

n(H2SO4)= 0.3 mole

Now we can calculate a mass of H2SO4:

m(H2SO4) = n×M = 0.3 × 98 = 27.8 g
