Using the information in the table, calculate the number of moles in a 2.03 kg sample of citric acid
(C6H8O7)
Write your answer using three significant figures.
mol C6H8O7-

Number of moles = 10.6 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar mass of H = 1.008 g/mol

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Mass of citric acid = 2.03 kg (2.03×1000 = 2030 g)

Number of moles of citric acid = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Now we will calculate the molar mass of citric acid:

C₆H₈O₇ = (12.01× 6) + (1.008×8) + (16.00×7)

C₆H₈O₇ = 72.06 + 8.064+112

C₆H₈O₇ = 192.124g/mol

Number of moles = 2030 g/ 192.124g/mol

Number of moles = 10.6 mol

they are all solids.

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
