Convert to Mass
Convert to Mass: .000523 moles of C6H12O6
if figure that out, would i have to add up the molar mass of C x 6, H x 12 and O x 6 ? then us the total mass of that over moles to find out?
no, not exactly
Mass=Moles*molmass
=.000523moles* (12*6 +1*12+16*6)grams/mole
aah i see. thanks alot.
Yes, to convert moles of a substance to mass, you need to use the concept of molar mass. Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in grams per mole (g/mol).
To calculate the molar mass of C6H12O6, you would indeed add up the molar masses of each individual element: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Here are the atomic masses of each element:
- Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol
- Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol
- Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol
Now, let's calculate the molar mass of C6H12O6:
(6 x C) + (12 x H) + (6 x O)
= (6 x 12.01 g/mol) + (12 x 1.01 g/mol) + (6 x 16.00 g/mol)
= 72.06 g/mol + 12.12 g/mol + 96.00 g/mol
= 180.18 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of C6H12O6 is 180.18 g/mol.
To convert moles of C6H12O6 to mass, you'll need to use the following formula:
Mass = Moles x Molar Mass
Given that you have 0.000523 moles of C6H12O6, you can calculate the mass as follows:
Mass = 0.000523 moles x 180.18 g/mol
= 0.094 g
Therefore, the mass of 0.000523 moles of C6H12O6 is approximately 0.094 grams.
