Verified Answer :

You have the number of moles n, and the formula for the molecule (which is propane by the way).

The mass can be found using this equation:

\(m = nM\)

Now you need to find the molar mass M of propane.

Using the periodic table you can find molar masses in grams per moleĀ of each element. You'll need the molar masses of C and H (since those are the only different atoms present).

\(M_C = 12.01g/mol\)
\(M_H = 1.01g/mol\)

You can break down the formula into its atoms:

\(C_3H_8 = 3C + 8H\)

And same with the molar masses:

\(M_{propane} = 3M_C + 8M_H\)

Sub in the values for M of propane.

\(M_{propane} = 3(12.01g/mol) + 8(1.01g/mol)\)
\(M_{propane} = 36.03g/mol + 8.08g/mol\)
\(M_{propane} = 44.11g/mol\)

Finally, use the initial equation for m.

\(m = (4.52*10^{-3} mol)(44.11g/mol)\)
\(m = 0.2g\)

Hope this helps :)

The mass of one mole of C3H8 is is 44 g/mol so the mass of 4.52 x 10^-3 mol is .199 g
