Which set of work should be used to solve the following problem?
1 answer:
Answer:
C. 65.5 g PF3 x (1 mole / 87.97 g PF3)
Explanation:
Dimensional analysis can be used to find the amount of moles in 65.5 grams of PF3 gas.
First we would need to determine relevant conversions.
We would need to find the molar mass of PF3 which is already given ( 87.97 g / mol )
So 1 mole of PF3 = 87.97g
From there we can create the dimensional analysis table which will look something like the attached image.
This table correspond with answer choice C.
<u>Reasons </u><u>it's </u><u>not </u><u>the </u><u>other </u><u>answer </u><u>choices</u><u>.</u>
It wouldn't be A because the units must cancel out and they don't as grams is being multiplied by grams
It would be B because it doesn't use correct units.
There are not 87.97 moles in 1 gram of PF3. There are 87.97 grams in 1 mole of PF3
