Question

If you have 200 grams of SO4, how many molecules of SO4 will you have?

Answer 1

2.08 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

number of molecules = mass / molecular mass of SO₄

number of molecules = 200 g / 96.06 g/mol

number of molecules ≈ 2.08

Answer 2

1.25x10^24 molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Therefore, 1mole of SO4 also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1mole of SO4 = 32 + (16x4) = 32 + 64 = 96g

If 1mole( i.e 96g) of SO4 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Therefore 200g of SO4 will contain = (200 x 6.02x10^23) /96

= 1.25x10^24 molecules
