Question

Determine the number of moles within a sample of 10g of propane(C3H8). Round your answer to 2 decimal places with proper units.

Answer 1

Given :

10 gram sample of propane( C₂H₈ ).

To Find :

The number of moles of propane in given sample.

Solution :

Molecular mass of propane, M = (2 × 12) + ( 1 × 8 ) gram/mol

M = 32 gram/mol

We know, number of moles is given by :

Number of moles, n = m/M

n = 10/32 mol

n = 0.3125 mol

Therefore, number of moles in given sample is 0.3125 mol.
