Answer to Question #205454 in General Chemistry for Alaa

Question

The molar mass of platinum is 195 g/mol. NA = 6.02 x 1023 units/mol

a- Find the number of moles present in 3.2 g of a platinum sample.

b- What is the mass of 2.75 x 10 24 atoms of platinum?

Answer 1

Solution

a.) No of moles=

3.2g of platinum$\times \frac{1 mol}{195g/mol}$

=0.0164 moles

b.)

2.75 $\times 10^{24}$ atoms$\times \frac{1mole}{6.02\times10^{24}}$

=4.568 moles of platinum

Mass= $4.568 moles\times\frac{195g}{1mole}$

=890.7g of platinum
