a) 1592.4 kg C8H10

b) 15*10³ mol C8H10

c) 33.1 lb-mole

d) 1.2 * 10^5 mol C

e) 1.5 * 10^5 mol H

f) 1.44 * 10^6 grams C

g) 1.52 * 10^5 grams H

h) 9.03*10^27 molecules C8H10

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles C8H10 = 15.0 kmol = 15000 moles

Molar mass of C8H10 = 106.16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass C8H10

Mass C8H10 = moles C8H10 * molar mass C8H10

Mass C8H10 = 15000 * 106.16 g/mol

Mass C8H10 = 1592400 grams = 1592.4 kg

Step 3: Calculate moles C8H10

15.0 kmol = 15*10³ mol C8H10

Step 4: Calculate lb-mol

15.0 kmol = 33.1 lb-mole

Step 5: Calculate moles of C

For 1 mol C8H10 we have 8 moles of C

For 15*10³ mol C8H10 we have 8 * 15*10³ = 1.2 * 10^5 mol C

Step 6: Calculate moles H

For 1 mol C8H10 we have 10 moles of H

For 15*10³ mol C8H10 we have 10 * 15*10³ = 1.5 * 10^5 mol H

Step 7: Calculate mass of C

Mass C = moles C * molar mass C

Mass C = 1.2 * 10^5 mol C * 12 g/mol

Mass C = 1.44 * 10^6 grams

Step 8: Calculate mass of H

Mass H = moles H * molar mass H

Mass H = 1.5 * 10^5 mol H * 1.01 g/mol

Mass C = 1.52 * 10^5 grams

Step 9: Calculate molecules of C8H10

Number of molecules = number of moles * number of Avogadro

Number of molecules = 15*10³ mol C8H10 * 6.022*10^23

Number of molecules = 9.03*10^27 molecules
