If oxygen has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mole, carbon has a molar mass of 12.0 g/mole and hydrogen has a molar mass of 1.01 g/mole, how many moles of ethanol do I have, if I have a beaker containing 10.0 g of ethanol (C2H5OH)

Respuesta :

The number of mole of ethanol present in the beaker is 0.217 mole

Description of mole
The mole of a substance is related to it's mass and molar mass according to the following equation:
Mole = mass / molar mass

How to determine the mole of C₂H₅OH
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of C₂H₅OH = 10 g
Molar mass of C₂H₅OH = (12×2) + (1.01×5) + 16 + 1.01 = 46.06 g/mol
Mole of C₂H₅OH =?

Mole = mass / molar mass
Mole of C₂H₅OH = 10 / 46.06
Mole of C₂H₅OH = 0.217 mole
