Find the mass in grams of 4.52

mol C20H42. Use the molar masses: C = 12.0 g/mol; H = 1.0 g/mol.

CA. 15.3g

B. 8.09 g

C. 1.27 g

D. 2.54 g

Check Answer

Mass = 1274.64 g it would be option C if it is converted into kilogram

1274.64 / 1000 = 1.27 Kg

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Number of moles of C₂₀H₄₂ = 4.52 mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

Mass of C₂₀H₄₂ = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass = 20 * 12 + 42 * 1.0 = 282 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

4.52 mol = mass / 282 g / mol

Mass = 4.52 mol * 282 g/mol

Mass = 1274.64 g
