Question

How many moles of water are in a beaker with 50 mL?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.8 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of water = ?

Volume of water = 50 mL

Density of water = 1.00 g/cm³

Solution:

1 cm³ =  1 mL

Density = mass/ volume

1.00 g/mL = mass/ 50 mL

Mass = 1.00 g/mL× 50 mL

Mass = 50 g

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 50 g / 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.8 mol
