Figure 2.10
-How many grams would be equal to 1 mol of the compound shown in Figure 2.10? (carbon = 12, oxygen = 16, hydrogen = 1)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the molar mass of the compound in Figure 2.10, we need to sum up the atomic masses of all the atoms present in one molecule of the compound.

The compound has 1 carbon atom, 3 oxygen atoms, and 8 hydrogen atoms.

So, the molar mass of the compound = (1 x 12) + (3 x 16) + (8 x 1) = 12 + 48 + 8 = 68 g/mol

Therefore, 1 mol of the compound would weigh 68 grams.

Hence, the correct answer is C, 60 grams, which is the closest value.
