• There are more molecules in 0.5 mol of Cl 2 than in 0.5 mol of H 2 .
• One mole of H 2 has 6.022 × 10 23 hydrogen atoms.
• The molecular mass of H 2 O is 18.0 amu.

17. Complete the following table.

18. Give the formula mass or the molecular mass of each substance.

• \(BiONO_3\)
• \(Tl_2SeO_4\)

19. Give the formula mass or the molecular mass of each substance.

• \(UO_2CO_3\)
• \(NH_4UO_2AsO_4\)
• While both are units of mass, a gram is Avogadro’s number of atomic mass units so you would multiply the number of amu by 6.022x10^23 to find total number of grams
• The correct way to state formula mass of ethanol is to show the units of mass which is amu.
• No because moles and weight operate on different set of standards meaning that they’re not equal to each other. This means that moles of different compounds contain different weights. For example, 2 moles of Na = 2 x 22.989 g = 45.98g while 1 mole of Cl = 1 x 35.453 g = 35.453 g Cl. This makes the sodium react completely with chlorine. 2g of sodium would react with = (35.453/45.978) x 2 = 1.542 g Cl

• The information required to determine the mass of the solute would be the molarity of the solution because once that is achieved, volume of the solution and molar mass of the solute can be used to calculate the total mass. A derivatization that achieves this goes as: Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liter -> Moles = molarity x volume in liter -> Mass= moles x molar mass.

a. 9.36 × 10 24 formula units of NaCl

b. 8.5 × 10 4 mol of Br 2

c. 3.7 × 10 8 g of NaCl

• It is not a chemically valid practice because the law of conservation of mass applies to closed/isolated systems only, so in this case of an open system converting mass into energy and allowing it to escape the system wouldn’t be valid.
• No it is not correct because in order to examine the molecular weight you need to take log of both molecules to see what there true weight is. In this case, log of O2 = 10g/(32 g/mol) = 0.3125 g/mol while log of H2 = 10g/(2 g/mol) = 5 g/mol. With that when hydrogen and oxygen react against each other ((2 x (0.3125 g/L)) x (18 g/mol H2O)) = 11.25 g of water vapor
• When a reaction is stoichiometric it means that the none of the reactants remain after being introduced leaving no excess or total leaving quantity.
• From a reaction of S + O 2 -> SO 2 we’re able to determine that the limiting reactant would be sulfur because the amount of O 2 in the air is higher than the amount of sulfur that is burned in the reaction.
• Yes it is possible, given the equation of: percent yield = (actual yield)/(Theoretical Yield) its entirely possible to have the percent yield become greater than the theoretical yield when the product of the reaction has impurities that increase the mass compared if the product was pure.
