Answer:

116 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole of calcium = 2.9 moles

Mass of calcium =.?

The mole and mass of a substance are related according to the following formula:

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above formula, we can obtain the mass of calcium. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of mole of calcium = 2.9 moles

Molar mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Mass of calcium =.?

Mole = mass / molar mass

2.9 = mass of calcium / 40

Cross multiply

Mass of calcium = 2.9 × 40

Mass of calcium = 116 g

Therefore, the mass of 2.9 moles of calcium is 116 g.
