Final answer:
To calculate the mass of C10H16O, determine the molar mass by adding the atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecular formula and then multiply by the number of moles. The molar mass of C10H16O is 152.2358 g/mol.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the mass of C10H16O, we first need to determine its molar mass. Using the atomic masses of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), we sum up the mass contributions from each element in the molecular formula:
- Carbon (C): 10 atoms × 12.011 g/mol = 120.11 g/mol
- Hygen (H): 16 atoms × 1.0079 g/mol = 16.1264 g/mol
- Oxygen (O): 1 atom × 15.9994 g/mol = 15.9994 g/mol
The molar mass is therefore the sum of these, which is 152.2358 g/mol. To obtain the mass for a given number of moles, we multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.
If you have one mole of C10H16O, the mass would be:
1 mol × 152.2358 g/mol = 152.2358 g
If you need to calculate the mass for a different number of moles, adjust the calculation accordingly by multiplying the molar mass by the number of moles you have.
