The answer is 492.8 g
1. Calculate a number of moles of a sample.
2. Calculate a molar mass of C3H8.
3. Calculate a mass of the sample.
1. Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance: 6.023 × 10²³ units per 1 mole
6.023 × 10²³ atoms : 1 mol =6.72 × 10²⁴ atoms : n
n = 6.72 × 10²⁴ atoms * 1 mol : 6.023 × 10²³ atoms = 1.12 × 10 mol = 11.2 mol
2. Molar mass (Mr) of C3H8 is sum of atomic masses (Ar) of its elements:
Ar(C) = 12 g/mol
Ar(H) = 1 g/mol
Mr(C3H8) = 3 * Ar(C) + 8 * Ar(H) = 3 * 12 + 8 * 1 = 36 + 8 = 44 g/mol
3. Mass (m) of a sample is number of moles (n) multiplied by molar mass (Mr) of C3H8:
m = n * Mr = 11.2 mol * 44 g/mol = 492.8 g
<span>0.0165 m
The balanced equation for the reaction is
AgNO3 + MgCl2 ==> AgCl + Mg(NO3)2
So it's obvious that for each Mg ion, you'll get 1 AgCl molecule as a product. Now calculate the molar mass of AgCl, starting with looking up the atomic weights.
Atomic weight silver = 107.8682
Atomic weight chlorine = 35.453
Molar mass AgCl = 107.8682 + 35.453 = 143.3212 g/mol
Now how many moles were produced?
0.1183 g / 143.3212 g/mol = 0.000825419 mol
So we had 0.000825419 moles of MgCl2 in the sample of 50.0 ml. Since concentration is defined as moles per liter, do the division.
0.000825419 / 0.0500 = 0.016508374 mol/L = 0.016508374 m
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.0165 m</span>
Before proceeding, we should write the reaction equation to better understand what is happening:
2AgNO₃ + Na₂S → Ag₂S + 2NaNO₃
Now, we may apply the law of conservation of mass, due to which the total mass before a chemical reaction is equivalent to the total mass after a chemical reaction. Therefore:
Mass of silver nitrate + mass of sodium sulfide = mass of silver sulfide + mass of sodium nitrate
Mass of silver nitrate + 156.2 = 595.8 + 340
Mass of silver nitrate = 779.6 grams
