Final answer:
To find the number of moles in a given mass of a substance, divide the mass by the molar mass. To find the mass of a given number of moles of a substance, multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of moles in a given mass of a substance, we use the formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
For example:
1. To find the number of moles in 28.0 grams of oxygen:
moles = 28.0 g / 32.00 g/mol (molar mass of oxygen)
moles = 0.875 mol
2. To find the mass of 5.0 moles of iron:
mass = 5.0 mol * 55.85 g/mol (molar mass of iron)
mass = 279.25 g
3. To find the number of moles of argon in 452 g of argon:
moles = 452 g / 39.95 g/mol (molar mass of argon)
moles = 11.31 mol
4. To find the grams in 16.5 mol of hydrogen:
mass = 16.5 mol * 1.01 g/mol (molar mass of hydrogen)
mass = 16.665 g
