What is the mass of—
(c) 10 moles of sodium sulphite (Na 2 SO 3 )?
Answer
We know that,
Mass of 1 mole of a substance = Molar mass of that substance
(c) 10 moles of sodium sulphite (Na 2 SO 3 )
Mass of 1 mole Na 2 SO 3 atoms = 2 x Molar mass of Na + 1 x Molar Mass of S + 3 x Molar Mass of O
= 2 x 23g + 1 x 32g + 3 x 16g
= 46g + 32g + 48g
= 126g
Mass of 10 moles Na 2 SO 3 atoms = 10 x Molar mass of Na 2 SO 3
= 10 x 126g
= 1260g
