Answer:

0.791 moles are present in the sample

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert mass to moles of a substance you must find the molar mass of the susbtance.

The molar mass of C₂H₆ is:

2C = 12.01g/mol*2 = 24.02g/mol

6H = 1.01g/mol*6 = 6.06g/mol

Molar mass = 24.02g/mol + 6.06g/mol = 30.08g/mol is the molar mass of C₂H₆

And the moles of 23.8g of this substance are:

23.8g * (1mol / 30.08g) =

0.791 moles are present in the sample
