Question

6.7 grams of aluminum sulfate to moles

Answer 1

0.01958mol

Explanation:

you want to go from grams to mols so when set up it looks like this

6.7 x
`(1mol)/(the mass of aluminum sulfate)`

(you want what your multiplying to cancel out with the denominator(g cancel out g so your left with mols))

to get the mass of aluminum sulfate you must first find the chemical formula which is

Al2(SO4)3

get the amount of every element

so there is:

2 Al

3 S

12 O

(multiply the three to everything inside the parenthesis)

next find the total mass of everything

Al=26.982g x 2

S=32.06g x 3

O=16g x 12

add everything together and you get 342.144g so you plug that number into the first equation

6.7 x
`(1mol)/(342.144g)` →
`(6.7)/(342.144)`→0.01958mol
