Answer: The number of moles of ethanol for given amount is 0.0326 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

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


\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

We are given:

Given mass of ethanol = 1.50 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:


\text{Moles of ethanol}=(1.50g)/(46.07g/mol)=0.0326mol

Hence, the number of moles of ethanol for given amount is 0.0326 moles.
