    Could someone check my chemistry about moles & masses.

    I have a quiz over these problems tomorrow different ones i was wondering if i did this right...

    Are these correct?

    Find the mass of 5.0 moles of phosphorus

    (30.97g) x (5.0 moles) =153.5 grams

    find the mass of 4.0 moles of zinc

    (65.38g) x (4.0 moles) = 261.52 grams

    find the mass of 5 moles of water (H2O) i got 72.064 grams as i found the atomic weight for both hydrogen and oxygen and combined them.

    How many moles of lithium are in a 10.0 gram sample of lithium?
    I got: number of moles of Li=10.0/6.9=1.45 mol.

    How many moles of Aluminum are in a 100 gram sample of aluminum? I got: number of moles of Al=100/27.0=3.70 mol.

    Determine the percentage composition (by mass) of C2H6O I got:

    Total Mr = 12.0x2 + 1.0x6 + 16.0 = 46.0
    % by mass of carbon = 2x12.0/46.0 x 100% = 52.2%
    % by mass of hydrogen = 1.0x6/46.0 x 100% = 13.0%
    % by mass of oxygen = 16.0/46.0 x 100% = 34.8%


    And by any chance...if anyone has time can they help me do these and show me the work on how its done? I would much appreciate it.

    What is the formula weight of BaCl2?

    How many grams of BaCl2 (see problem 5) would be in 3 moles of BaCl2?

    Thank-you so much.

    Based on my guestimate math, this appears to be wrong.

    18g X 5 ~ 90.


    Uh...

    Mass of BA + 2 X Mass of CL

    That number X 3...

    I dont get what your saying...is that the formula weight...?

    Mass of BA + 2 X Mass of CL???

    And that number X 3?

    What do you mean..

    He means exactly what he said - The formula weight of BaCl2 is indeed that number.

    Then to find how many grams of BaCl2 there are in three moles, multiply the aforementioned number by three.

    Stoichiometry is quite easy once you get used to it really. The most confusing part is finding the amount of a product of a reaction, or at least that's what I found to be confusing when I first did it.
