Question

How many moles are in 281 g of Ca(OH)2?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.79 moles

Explanation:

To convert moles to gams of a substance we need to find the molar mass of the substance. For Ca(OH)₂ th molar mass is:

1Ca = 40.08g/mol

2O = 2*16g/mol = 32g/mol

2H = 2*1.01g/mol = 2.02g/mol

The molar mass is:

40.08g/mol + 32g/mol + 2.02g/mol = 74.1g/mol

And moles are:

281g * (1mol / 74.1g) =

3.79 moles
