Moles of methanol = 9.27x10^24/6.02x10^23 = 15.398 moles.

Mass of methanol = moles of methanol x molar mass of methanol
= 15.398 x 32.042
= 493.38 grams.

Hope this helps!

Answer: 493 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number
6.023* 10^(23) of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}=(9.27* 10^(24))/(6.023* 10^(23))=15.4moles

1 mole of
CH_3OH weighs = 32 g

15.4 moles of
CH_3OH weigh =
(32)/(1)* 15.4=493g

Thus mass of
9.27* 10^(24) molecules of methanol weigh 493 grams.
