let's assume we have 1 mole of this compound. If we have 110 g, so: mass C = 0.6545 x 110 = 72 g mass H = .05492 x 110 = 6.05 g mass O = .2906 x 110 = 32 g Calculate the number of moles: moles C = 72g / (12g/mole) = 6 moles moles H = 6.05 / (1.01g/mole) = 6 moles moles O = 32 g / (16 g/mole) = 2 moles
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
