Answer:
Mass of oxygen = 2.2 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of benzoic acid= 8.20 g
Mass of oxygen= ?
Solution:
Molar mass of oxygen = 16×2 g/mol
Molar mass of C₆H₅COOH = 7×12 + 1×6 + 2×16
Molar mass of C₆H₅COOH = 84 + 6 + 32
Molar mass of C₆H₅COOH = 122g/mol
Mass of oxygen in 8.20 g of C₆H₅COOH :
Mass of oxygen = 32 g.mol⁻¹/122 g.mol⁻¹ × 8.20 g
Mass of oxygen = 2.2g
