If you have 40.0 g HCl and 40.0 g NaHCO3, do you have the same number of moles of each?

Sagot :

They both have a different number of moles

Further explanation

Given

40 g HCl

40 g NaHCO3

Required

moles

Solution

The mole is the number of particles contained in a substance

1 mol = 6.02.10²³

Moles can also be determined from the amount of substance mass and its molar mass

n = mass : molar mass

So the moles of a compound are affected by its molar mass (inversely proportional)

The larger the molar mass (of the same mass), the smaller the moles

molar mass HCl = 58.5 g/mol

molar mass NaHCO3 = 84 g/mol

mol HCl :

= 40 : 58.5

= 0.684

mol NaHCO# :

= 40 : 84

= 0.476
