Final answer:
To calculate the mass in grams of a substance, we need to know its molar mass. For aluminum sulfate (given as an example), the molar mass is 342.14 g/mol, meaning 1 mole weighs 342.14 grams. If you meant allyl sulfide instead, we need the correct molecular formula to provide an accurate answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the mass in grams of allyl sulfide, we need to know its molar mass or the molecular formula, which appears to be missing in your question. However, you've provided details for the wrong compound, aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3). Assuming you meant aluminum sulfate, here's the correct calculation:
- First, let's define molar mass: the mass of one mole of a substance.
- The molar mass of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, is found by adding together the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula: (2 x 26.98) + (3 x 32.06) + (12 x 16.00) = 342.14 g/mol
- So, 1 mole of aluminum sulfate has a mass of 342.14 grams.
If the actual question was to calculate the mass of allyl sulfide, please provide the correct molecular formula for allyl sulfide so that we can assist you with the right calculation.
