Answer:

The answer is 1.35 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles given the molecular weight and mass we use the formula


n = (M)/(m) \\

where

n is the number of moles

M is the molar mass

m is the mass of the substance

From the question

m = 24.3 g

M = 18.02 g/mol

We have


n = (24.3)/(18.02) \\ = 1.348501664...

We have the final answer as

1.35 moles

Hope this helps you
