How many moles of potassium are in 117.3 g?

The number of moles of potassium is .

Further Explanation:

Mole is the S.I. unit. The number of moles is calculated as the ratio of mass of the compound to that of molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass also known as molecular weight is the sum of the total mass in grams of all the atoms that make up a mole of a particular molecule that is the mass of 1 mole of a compound. Its S.I unit is g/mol.

The expression to relate number of moles, mass and molar mass of compound is as follows:

The formula to calculate number of moles of potassium is as follows:

  ......(1)

The given mass of potassium is 117.3 g.

Molar mass of potassium is 39.0983 g/mol.

Substitute 117.3 g for given mass of potassium and 39.0983 g/mol for molar mass of potassium in equation (1) to calculate the number of moles of potassium.

Hence, the number of moles of potassium in 117.3 g is 3 mol.

a. hope i'm right

explanation:

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
