Question

Calculate the amount in moles of 125 g of CaSO4.

Answer 1

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaSO₄ = 125 g

Number of moles of CaSO₄ = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CaSO₄:

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 16×4

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 64

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 136 g/mol

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 125 g/ 136 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.92 mol
