Use average atomic masses to calculate the number of moles of the element present in each of the following samples.
(a) 66.76 g of fluorine atoms
(b) 405.0 mg of mercury
(c) 84.04 g of silicon
(d) 48.65 g of platinum
(e) 2426 g of magnesium
(f) 47.77 g of molybdenum
(a) 66.76 g of fluorine atoms
mass= 66.76 gm
molar mass of F = 19 gm
number of moles of fluorine atoms = mass /molar mass
= 66.76/19
= 3.5 mol
(b) 405.0 mg of mercury
mass= 405 mg = 0.405 gm
molar mass of mercury = 200.5 gm
number of moles of mercury = mass /molar mass
= 0.405/200.5
= 2.02*10^-3 mol
= 2.02 mmol
(c) 84.04 g of silicon
mass= 84.04 g
molar mass of silicon= 28 gm
number of moles of silicon= mass /molar mass
= 84.04/28
= 3 mol
(d) 48.65 g of platinum
mass= 48.65 g
molar mass of platinum= 195 gm
number of moles of platinum= mass /molar mass
= 48.65 /195
= 0.25 mol
(e) 2426 g of magnesium
mass= 2426 g
molar mass of magnesium= 24 gm
number of moles of magnesium= mass /molar mass
= 2426 /24
= 101.1 mol
(f) 47.77 g of molybdenum
mass= 47.77 g
molar mass of molybdenum= 96 gm
number of moles of molybdenum= mass /molar mass
= 47.77 /96
= 0.5 mol
