How many grams of carbon are in 2.42 moles of C2H6
g = mols x molar mass
To determine the number of grams of carbon in 2.42 moles of C2H6 (ethane), you would need to calculate the molar mass of carbon and then multiply it by the number of moles of carbon in C2H6.
The molecular formula of ethane (C2H6) consists of two carbon atoms (C) and six hydrogen atoms (H). To calculate the molar mass of C2H6, you need to multiply the atomic masses of carbon and hydrogen by their respective subscripts and then add them together.
The atomic mass of carbon (C) is approximately 12.01 g/mol, and since there are two carbon atoms in C2H6, the total mass of carbon is:
2 x 12.01 g/mol = 24.02 g/mol
Therefore, in 2.42 moles of C2H6, there would be:
24.02 g/mol x 2.42 mol = 58.1644 grams of carbon
So, there are approximately 58.16 grams of carbon in 2.42 moles of C2H6.
