Question

What is the mass in grams of 0.375 mol if the element potassium, k?

​

Answer 1

14.625g

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of a substance =number of moles of the substance × molar mass of the substance

Substance of interest is potassium, K

Given, Number of moles of K =0.375mol

Molar mass of K =39g/mol

Therefore, mass of K =0.375×39=14.625g

Answer 2

Answer: 14.625g

Step-by-step explanation:

No of moles= mass given/molar mass

No of moles given= 0.375mol

Mass is the unknown (?)

Molar mass of K= 39

No of moles = mass given/molar mass

Substitute the values

0.375= mass/39

Cross multiply

Mass = 39×0.375

Mass= 14.625g

The mass is 14.625g
