How many moles are in 24.75 g of H2O? What is given the conversation and the unknown?

1.373 mol H₂O

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

24.75 g H₂O

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

= 1.37347 mol H₂O

Step 4: Check

We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

1.37347 mol H₂O ≈ 1.373 mol H₂O

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3
