Question

What mass of silicon dioxide contains 9.72 X10e24 molecules of silicon dioxide?

Answer 1

1033.36g

Step-by-step explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This means that 1 mole of SO2 also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

1 mole SO2 = 32 + (16x2) = 64g.

Now, If 64g of SO2 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Therefore, Xg of SO2 will contain 9.72x10^24 i.e

Xg of SO2 = (64x9.72x10^24)/6.02x10^23

Xg of SO3 = 1033.36g.

Therefore, 1033.36g of SO2 contains 9.72x10^24 molecules
