A chemist has 2.0 mol of methanol (CH3OH). The molar mass of methanol is 32.0 g/mol. What is the mass, in grams, of the sample?
Given: 2.0 mol of methanol, molar mass of methanol(32.0 g/mol)
Wanted: Grams of 2.0 mol of methanol
Grams of solute= 2.0mol 32.0g/1 mole = x
2.0 32.0 = [64.0g CH3OH]
Hope this is helpful!
Mass = 64 g
Mole is the quantity of a substance that contains number of particles exactly equal to particles found in 12 g of Carbon-12. The number of particles are 6.022 × 10²³ also called as Avogadro Number. Mole is given as,
Mole = Mass / Molar Mass ----- (1)
Data Given;
Mole = 2.0 mol
M.Mass = 32.0 g.mol⁻¹
Mass = ??
Solving equation 1 for Mass,
Mass = Mole × M.Mass
Putting values,
Mass = 2.0 mol × 32.0 g.mol⁻¹
Mass = 64 g
