Question

How many grams are there in 4.4 moles of calcium, Ca?

Answer 1

180 g Ca

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

• Reading a Periodic Table
• Using Dimensional Analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

4.4 mol Ca

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

`4.4 \ mol \ Ca((40.08 \ g \ Ca)/(1 \ mol \ Ca) )` = 176.352 g Ca

Step 4: Check

We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

176.352 g Ca ≈ 180 g Ca
