(b) Mass of acetylene, C2H2 = 2.267 g

(c) Mass of Na2 CO3 = 3.465 x 10-4 g

(d) Mass of fructose, C6 H12 O6 = 0.221 g

(e) Mass of FeSO4(H2O)7 = 152.58 g

Step by step solution

01

Determining the mass of LiCl

Given: mol of compounds

To determine the mass of compound the formula is

Number of moles = Wt. in gram/Molecular weight

Wt. in gram = mass

First, we have to determine the molecular weight of the given compounds as follows.

Molecular weight of LiCl = 6 + 35 = 101g/mol

By using the following formula, we can calculate mass.

Mass = Number of moles x Molecular weight

a) 2.345 mol x 101g/mol = 236.84 g LiCl

02

Determining the mass of C2H2

Given: mol of compounds

To determine the mass of compound the formula is

Number of moles = Wt. in gram/Molecular weight

Wt. in gram = mass

First, we have to determine the molecular weight of the given compounds as follows.

Molecular weight of C2H2 = 24 + 2 = 26 g/mol

By using the following formula, we can calculate mass.

Mass = Number of moles x Molecular weight

b) 0.0872 mol x 26 g/mol = 2.267 g

03

Determine the mass of Na2CO3

Given: mol of compounds

To determine the mass of compound the formula is

Number of moles = Wt. in gram/Molecular weight

Wt. in gram = mass

First, we have to determine the molecular weight of the given compounds as follows.

Molecular weight of Na2CO3 = 2 x 22 + 12 + 3 x 16 = 105 g/mol

By using the following formula, we can calculate mass.

Mass = Number of moles x Molecular weight

c) 3.3 × 10−2 mol x 105 g/mol = 3.465 x 10-4 g

04

Determine the mass of C6H12O6   

Given: mol of compounds

To determine the mass of compound the formula is

Number of moles = Wt. in gram/Molecular weight

Wt. in gram = mass

First, we have to determine the molecular weight of the given compounds as follows.

Molecular weight of C6H12O6 = (6 x12) + (12 x 1) + (6 x 16) = 180 g/mol

By using the following formula, we can calculate mass.

Mass = Number of moles x Molecular weight

d) 1.23 × 103 mol x 180 g/mol = 0.221 g

05

Determine the mass of FeSO4(H2O)

Given: mol of compounds

To determine the mass of compound the formula is

Number of moles = Wt. in gram/Molecular weight

Wt. in gram = mass

First, we have to determine the molecular weight of the given compounds as follows.

Molecular weight of FeSO4(H2O)7

= 55 + 32 + 11 x 16 + 2 x 1

= 265 g/mol

By using the following formula, we can calculate mass.

Mass = Number of moles x Molecular weight

e) 0.5758 mol x 265 g/mol = 152.58 g
