Question

How many moles do you have in 37.3 g of Co(CrO4)3​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

• Reading a Periodic Table
• Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

37.3 g Co(CrO₄)₃

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Co - 58.93 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cr - 52.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Co(CrO₄)₃ - 58.93 + 3(52.00) + 12(16.00) = 406.93 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$37.3 \ g \ Co(CrO_4)_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ Co(CrO_4)_3}{406.93 \ g \ Co(CrO_4)_3} )$ = 0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

Step 4: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃ ≈ 0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃
