Answer:

The mass of 42.3 moles of potassium sulfate is 7,371.1557 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Potassium sulfate K₂SO₄ which is also known as sulphate of potash is a water soluble common component of fertilizer

The molar mass of potassium sulfate, M = 174.259 g/mol

The given number of moles of potassium sulfate, n = 42.3 moles

The mass, 'm', of a given number of moles of potassium sulfate, 'n', is given as follows;

m = n × M

Therefore, we have;

The mass, 'm', of 42.3 moles of potassium sulfate is found by plugging in the values for 'M', and 'n', in the above equation as follows;

m = 42.3 moles × 174.259 g/mol = 7,371.1557 grams

The mass of 42.3 moles of potassium sulfate, m = 7,371.1557 grams.
