How many moles of N are in 0.223 g of N2O?
I have tried the answers 0.01508 but it is wrong I dont know what I am doing incorrectly plz help
Thank You
To determine the number of moles of N in a given amount of N2O, you need to use the molar mass of N2O and the given mass of N2O.
First, let's calculate the molar mass of N2O:
The molar mass of N is 14.01 g/mol, and the molar mass of O is 16.00 g/mol.
Since N2O contains two nitrogen atoms (N2) and one oxygen atom (O), we can calculate the molar mass as follows:
Molar Mass of N2O = 2(N) + 1(O) = 2(14.01 g/mol) + 1(16.00 g/mol) = 28.02 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol = 44.02 g/mol.
Now, using the molar mass, we can find the number of moles of N in 0.223 g of N2O:
Number of moles = Mass (g) / Molar mass (g/mol)
Number of moles of N = (0.223 g) / (44.02 g/mol) ≈ 0.00507 mol N.
Therefore, there are approximately 0.00507 moles of N in 0.223 g of N2O.
It seems like you may have made an error in your calculations. Make sure you are using the correct molar mass for N2O and double-check your division.
