a. 0.37 mol SO₂
b. 1.2 mol SO₂
c. 0.5 mol SO₂
d. 44 mol SO₂

Answer 1

a. 0.37 mol SO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of moles in a sample can be calculated by dividing the mass of the sample by its molar mass. In this case, the number of moles of SO₂ in a 23.8 g sample would be:

23.8 g SO₂ × (1 mol SO₂ / 64 g SO₂) = 0.37 mol SO₂

So the correct answer is (a) 0.37 mol SO₂.
