Calculate the number of grams contained in each of the following number of moles. report your answer with the appropriate number of significant figures. a. 0.410 mol of nacl (sodium chloride) b. 4.80 mol of c2h4 (ethylene)

Answers:

a. 131.85 grams

b. 134.69 grams

To calculate the number of grams in the number of moles given for each compound, consider the formula:

Moles = No. of grams / molar mass

Therefore, to find the gram it will become:

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

a.  0.410 mol of NaCl (sodium chloride)

Molar mass of NaCl = (286.14 + 35.45) = 321.59

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 0.410 x 321.59 = 131.85 grams

b. 4.80 mol of C2H4 (ethylene)

Molar mass of C2H4 = (12.01 x 2) + (1.01 x 4) = 28.06

No. of grams = moles x molar mass

No. of grams = 4.80 x 28.06 = 134.69 grams
