Question

You need 1.2 moles of H2SO4 for an experiment. You weigh out 100g of this colorless syrupy liquid. Do you have enough?

Answer 1

Answer is: not enough colorless syrupy liquid.
n(H₂SO₄) = 1,2 mol.
M(H₂SO₄) = 2Ar(H) + Ar(S) + 4Ar(O) · g/mol.
M(H₂SO₄) = 2·1 + 32 + 4·16 · g/mol.
M(H₂SO₄) = 98 g/mol.
m(H₂SO₄) = n(H₂SO₄) · M(H₂SO₄).
m(H₂SO₄) = 1,2 mol · 98 g/mol.
m(H₂SO₄) = 117,6 g needed.
100 g is less that 117,6 g.
