How many moles of water (H2O) are present in a beaker containing 45. 9 g H2O? Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures. (Molar mass of water = 18. 02 g/mol) 45. 9 g H2O = mol H2O.

Respuesta :

The moles of water in 45.9 g  is 2.54 mol.

The moles are defined as the mass of substance with respect to the molar mass. The moles of sample are given by:

[tex]\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}[/tex]

Computation for mass of water

The molar mass is the sum of mass of each element in the formula unit. The molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol.

The given mass of water is 45.9 g.

Substitute the values for the moles of water:

[tex]\rm Moles=\dfrac{45.9 \;g}{18. 02 \;g/mol}\\\\ Moles=2.54\;mol[/tex]

The moles of water in 45.9 g  is 2.54 mol.
