How many moles are present in of ? (molar mass )
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 2
- Step 1: Use the fundamental mole formula relating mass and molar mass: .
- Step 2: Divide the given mass in grams by the compound's molar mass in g/mol.
- Step 3: Carrying out the division yields 2 moles.
Answer
2.
Why not the others: 1 halves the correct mole count by doubling the molar mass; 4 doubles the correct mole count by doubling mass or halving molar mass; 3 adds 1 extra mole due to an arithmetic addition miscalculation.
