Question

A.) What is the mass in g of 5 mols of Mg?

B.) If you are given 7.4 *10^23 atoms of Cu, how many mols of Cu do you have?

Answer 1

Mass of Mg = 120 g

1.23 moles of Cu

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Given data:

Number of moles of Mg = 5 mol

Mass of Mg = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mol.

5 mol = mass/ 24 g/mol

Mass = 5 mol × 24 g/mol

Mass = 120 g

B) Given data:

Number of atoms of Cu = 7.4 ×10²³ atom

Number of moles of Cu = ?

Solution:

Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance. The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

7.4 ×10²³ atom × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atom

1.23 moles of Cu
