Question

How many moles are in 15.0 grams of calcium?

0.374 moles

2.67 moles

601.5 moles

2.40 x 1025 moles

Answer 1

Use the atomic mass of calcium

Ca atomic mass = 40.1 g / mol

Now use the formula:

mass = #moles * atomic mass, and solve for #moles

#moles = mass / atomic mass = 15.0g / 40.1g/mol = 0.374 mol

Answer: 0.374 moles
