Molar mass K₂SO₄ = 174.259 g/mol

n =  \frac{m}{M}

n =  \frac{15.0 g}{174.259g/mol}

n = 0.0860 moles

hope this helps!

\boxed{{\text{0}}{\text{.0860 mol}}} of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is present in 15 g of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} .

Further explanation:

Amount of substance is measured in terms of mole. The mass of substance with same number of fundamental units as atoms in 12 g of carbon 12 is 1 mole.

In step 1, we have to calculate the molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} . The molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} can be calculated by using equation (1).

Step 1: The molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}  is calculated as follows:

{\text{Molar mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} = \left[ \begin{gathered}{\text{2}}\left( {{\text{Atomic mass of K}}} \right)+\hfill\\{\text{1}}\left({{\text{Atomic mass of S}}} \right)+\hfill\\{\text{4}}\left({{\text{Atomic mass of O}}}\right)\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]

…… (1)

The atomic mass of K is 39.09 g.

The atomic mass of S is 32.06 g.

The atomic mass of O is 16 g.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}&=\left[{{\text{2}}\left({{\text{39}}{\text{.09 g}}}\right)+{\text{1}}\left({{\text{32}}{\text{.06 g}}}\right)+{\text{4}}\left({{\text{16 g}}}\right)}\right]\\&=\left[{{\text{78}}{\text{.18 g}}+{\text{32}}{\text{.06 g}}+{\text{64 g}}}\right]\\&=174.24\;{\text{g/mol}}\\\end{gathered}

In step 2, the molar mass calculated in step 1 is used to calculate the number of moles of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} . The number of moles of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is calculated by using equation (2).

Step 2: The formula to calculate the moles of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is as follows:

{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{{{\text{Given mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}}}

…… (2)

The given mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is 15 g.

The molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is 174.24 g/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}&=\left( {15\;{\text{g}}}\right)\left({\frac{{1\;{\text{mol}}}}{{174.24\;{\text{g}}}}}\right)\\&={\text{0}}{\text{.086088}}\\&\approx{\mathbf{0}}{\mathbf{.0860}}\;{\mathbf{mol}}\\\end{aligned}

After swimming in the ocean for several hours, the swimmers noticed that their fingers appeared to be very wrinkled or shriveled
MatroZZZ [7]
<span>The answer is hypertonic. In osmosis, water molecules move from a hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution, through a semipermeable membrane. This occurs until both solutions become isotonic relative to each other.  In osmosis, only the movement of water molecules occurs since the ions are large enough to pass through the pores of the semipermeable membrane, in this case, the cell membrane. Due to loss of water in the process of osmosis, the cells in the fingers of the swimmers shrunk hence looked shriveled.</span>
