Question
Question: How many grams are there in \[5\] moles of Oxygen?...
How many grams are there in 5 moles of Oxygen?
Solution
The amount of substance can be expressed in different quantities like moles or number of atoms or grams.
Mole contains 6.032×1023 atoms or molecules. The 1 mole of a molecule contains the grams of substance which is equal to the molar mass of that molecule.
Thus, to determine the amount of grams present in moles, the number of moles should be multiplied with molar mass of the molecule.
Complete answer:
Periodic table is the representation of elements arranged in the increasing order of atomic numbers.
The periodic table consists of a total of 118 elements.
These elements are arranged in vertical columns called groups and horizontal rows called periods.
There are 7 periods and 18 groups in the periodic table.
Oxygen is an element belonging to 16th group and 2nd period.
Oxygen has the atomic number of 8.
Oxygen molecule exists as a dimer of elemental oxygen and has the molar mass doubled to 16.
The molar mass of the oxygen molecule will be 32.
Given oxygen contains 5 moles.
We know that 1 mole of oxygen contains 32 grams of oxygen.
Thus, 5 moles of oxygen contain 32×5=160grams of oxygen.
Thus, 5 moles of oxygen contain 160 grams of oxygen.
When the elemental oxygen is taken, it has a molar mass of 16.
Thus, 5 moles of elemental oxygen contain 16×5=80grams of elemental oxygen.
Note:
The molar mass should be multiplied by number of moles to determine the number of grams present in a given number of moles.
The molar mass should be taken clearly.
The molar mass of elemental oxygen will be different from molecular oxygen.
