Question

How many moles of H atoms are in 15.2 grams of pure ice?

Answer 1

The number of moles of H atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice is 0.850 moles

The number of moles of O atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice is 13.50 moles

What is an atom?

An atom is a smallest indivisible particle of a chemical element that is capable of independent existence.

• Pure ice contains the H2O molecules and the molar mass of H2O is 18.02 g/mol

Using the relation:

• number of moles = mass/molar mass

The number of moles of H2O = 15.2 grams/18.02 g/mol

number of moles of H2O = 0.8435 moles

If the atomic mass of H and O are as follow:

• the atomic mass of H atom is = 1.00784 g/mol
• the atomic mass of O atom is = 15.999 g/mol

Then:

the number of H atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice = mass of H atom × molar mass of H2O.

the number of H atoms = 0.8435 mol × 1.00784 g/mol

the number of H atoms = 0.850 moles

the number of O atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice = 0.8435 mol × 15.999 g/mol

the number of O atoms = 13.50 moles
