Question

How many grams are there in the following?
(1) 1 mole of chlorine molecule, $C{{l}_ {2}}$
(2) 2 moles of sulphur molecules, ${{S}_ {8}}$
(3) 4 moles of ozone molecules, ${{O}_ {3}}$
(4) 2 moles of nitrogen molecules, ${{N}_ {2}}$

Answer 1

In order to convert the mole of substance to grams we will be using the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass. As we have been provided with the moles of the substance.

Complete Solution :
We have been provided with 1 mole of chlorine molecule, ($C{{l}_ {2}}$), 2 moles of sulphur molecules, (${{S}_ {8}}$)
4 moles of ozone molecules, (${{O}_ {3}}$) and 2 moles of nitrogen molecules, (${{N}_ {2}}$).
And we need to convert the mole of the substance to grams,

- So, for that we will be using the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass,
So, the first one we have: 1 mole of chlorine molecule, $C{{l}_ {2}}$,
So, the molar mass of chlorine molecule, $C{{l}_ {2}} =35.5\times 2$,
Which is equal to: 71g/mol

- Now, keeping these values in the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass,
So, from this we will get: Given mass = number of moles $\times$ molar mass,
Keeping the values: given mass = $1\times 71=71g$,

- Now the next one that we have is: 2 moles of sulphur molecules, (${{S}_ {8}}$),
So, the molar mass of sulphur molecules, ${{S}_ {8}} =32\times 8$,
Which is equal to: 256g/mol

- Now, keeping these values in the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass,
So, from this we will get: Given mass = number of moles $\times$ molar mass,
Keeping the values: given mass = $2\times 256=512g$,
The next one is: 4 moles of ozone molecules, (${{O}_ {3}}$),
So, the molar mass of ozone molecules, ${{O}_ {3}} =3\times 16$,
Which is equal to: 48g/mol

- Now, keeping these values in the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass,
So, from this we will get: Given mass = number of moles $\times$ molar mass,
Keeping the values: given mass = $4\times 48=192g$,
The last one is: 2 moles of nitrogen molecules, ${{N}_ {2}}$,
So, the molar mass of nitrogen molecules, ${{N}_ {2}} =2\times 14$,
Which is equal to: 28g/mol

- Now, keeping these values in the formula: number of moles = given mass / molar mass,
So, from this we will get: Given mass = number of moles $\times$ molar mass,
Keeping the values: given mass = $2\times 28=56g$,
so, we have changed all the given moles of the substance into grams.
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: Molar mass is of great importance when setting up an experiment. If you are testing principles involving specific amounts of a substance, the molar mass allows you to figure out how much you should weigh out on your scale.
