Answer:

Given: 42 g of N2

Solve for O2 mass that contains the same number of molecules to 42 g of N2.

Solve for the number of moles in 42 g of N2

1 mole of N2 = (14 * 2) g = 28 g so the number of moles in 42 g of N2 is equal to 42 g / 28 g per mole = 1.5 moles

Solve for mass of 1 mole of oxygen

1 mole of O2 = 16 g * 2 = 32 g per mole

Solve for the mass of 1.5 moles of oxygen

mass of 1.5 moles of O2 = 32 g per mole * 1.5 moles

mass of 1.5 moles of O2 = 48 g

So 48 g of O2 contains the same number of molecules as 42 g of N2

Here is the complete question.

Glycerol (C3H8O3), also called glycerine, is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Glycerol is polar and dissolves readily in water and polar organic solvents like ethanol. Calculate the mole fraction of the solvent in a solution that contains 1.61 g glycerol dissolved in 22.60 mL ethanol (CH3CH2OH; density = 0.7893 g/mol). Round to four significant digits

Answer:

0.9567 mol

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of glycerol = 1.61 g

molar mass of glycerol = 92.1 g/mol

no of mole = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$
