How many moles are in 300 g of C25H52?
Responses
To calculate the number of moles in 300 g of C25H52, we first need to determine the molar mass of C25H52.
The molar mass of carbon (C) is approximately 12.01 g/mol, and the molar mass of hydrogen (H) is approximately 1.008 g/mol. Therefore, the molar mass of C25H52 can be calculated as:
(25 moles of C * 12.01 g/mol) + (52 moles of H * 1.008 g/mol) = 300.325 g/mol
Now, we can use the formula:
Number of moles = Mass (g) / Molar mass (g/mol)
Number of moles = 300 g / 300.325 g/mol ≈ 0.998 moles
Therefore, there are approximately 0.998 moles in 300 g of C25H52.
