How do you find the amount of moles is .032 grams of water and whats the answer

Explanation:

First, we need to find the molecular mass of water (H₂O).

H₂O has:

Use the Periodic Table to find the mass of hydrogen and oxygen. Then, multiply by the number of atoms of the element.

There are 2 hydrogen atoms, so multiply the mass by 2.

Now, find the mass of H₂O. Add the mass of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

Next, find the amount of moles using the molecular mass we just calculated. Set up a ratio.

Multiply. The grams of H₂O will cancel out.

The original measurement given had two significant figures (3,2). We must round to have 2 significant figures. All the zeroes before the 1 are not significant. So, round to the ten thousandth.

The 7 in the hundred thousandth place tells us to round up.

There are about 0.0018 moles in 0.032 grams.
