Answer: 14.1g
Explanation:
Given that,
number of moles of SiO2 = 0.235 moles
Mass in grams = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Molar mass of SiO2 = ?
To get the molar mass of SiO2, use the atomic mass
Silicon = 28g;
Oxygen = 16g
i.e Molar mass of SiO2 = 28g + (16g x 2)
= 28g + 32g
= 60g/mol
Now, apply the formula
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass
0.235 moles = Z / 60g/mol
Z = 0.235 moles x 60g/mol
Z = 14.1 g
Thus, the mass of SiO2 is 14.1 grams.
