Here are the answers to the worksheet I gave you in class. Again, they look a little different because of my HTML abilities, but you should be able to tell what is going on. If you are having trouble with these, come see me - ASAP! Remember, the test is on Friday.
1. What is the mass in grams of 3.6 mol of the element carbon, C?
3.6
mol C x 12.01 g C
= 43. g C
(the 12.01g came from the periodic table)
1 mol C
2. What is the mass in grams of 0.733 mol of the element chlorine, Cl?
0.733
mol Cl x 35.45 g Cl
= 25.98 g Cl ---> 26.0 g Cl
(adjusted for sig fig's)
1 mole Cl
3. How many moles of copper, Cu, are in 3.22 g of copper?
3.22
g Cu x
1 mol Cu = 0.0506 mol
Cu
63.55 g Cu
4. How many moles of lithium, Li, are in 2.72 x 10-4 g of lithium?
2.72
x 10-4 g Li x
1 mol Li = 3.94
x 10-5 mol Li
(don't let the ugly numbers fool you - they gave you
6.91 g Li
grams and asked for moles -- so just go with it!)
5. How many moles of C are in 2.25 x 1022 atoms of C?
2.25
x 1022 atoms C x
1 mole C =
0.037 mol C
6.022 x 1023 atoms
6. How many moles of oxygen, O2 , are in 2,000,000 atoms of oxygen?
2,000,000
atoms O2 x
1 mol O2
= 3. x 10-18 mol
O2
6.022 x 1023 atoms
7. How many atoms of sodium, Na, are in 3.80 mol of sodium?
3.80
mol Na x 6.022
x 1023 atoms = 2.29 x 1024
atoms Na
1 mol
8. What is the mass in grams of 5.0 x 109 atoms of neon, Ne?
5.0
x 109 atoms Ne x
1 mol Ne
x 20.18 g Ne = 1.7
x 10-13 g Ne
6.022 x 1023 atoms
1 mol Ne
(This one had three steps. Why?? Because you are only allowed to make two types of conversion factors - we couldn't change atoms directly into grams -- we can only change them into moles. THEN we can change the moles into grams.)
9. How many atoms of C are in 0.020 g of C?
0.020 g C x 1 mol C
x 6.022 x 1023 atoms
= 1.0 x 1021 atoms C
12.01 g C
1 mol C
10. What mass of silver, Ag, contains the same number of atoms
as 10.0 g of boron, B?
(This is a hard one --
it is an extra credit type of problem.)
First, I found out how many moles were in 10.0 g of B --
10.0 g B x
1 mol B = 0.925 mol B
10.81 g B
Then, I remembered that according
to Avogadro - one mole of ANY substance always contains 6.022
x 1023 atoms. So
if I can figure out the mass of 0.925 mol of silver, then I have my answer....
0.925 mol Ag x 107.87
g Ag = 99.8 g Ag
1 mol Ag
