Question

You have 54.32 grams of PbCl4. How many moles of PbCl4 do you have?

If you show the work that would be great!

Answer 1

0.156mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of moles of a substance can be calculated from its mass by dividing its mass by molar mass i.e.

Number of moles (n) = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of PbCl4 is as follows, where Pb = 207.2g/mol, Cl = 35.5g/lol

PbCl4 = 207.2 + 35.5(4)

= 207.2 + 142

= 349.2g/mol

Using: mole = mass/molar mass

mole = 54.32 grams ÷ 349.2g/mol

mole = 0.1555

mole = 0.156mol
