Calculate the total mass and number of molecules present in 3 moles of benzene.
Options
- ATotal mass = 78 g and number of molecules = 6.022 10²³
- BTotal mass = 156 g and number of molecules = 1.2044 10²⁴
- CTotal mass = 334 g and number of molecules = 6.022 10²³
- DTotal mass = 234 g and number of molecules = 1.8066 10²⁴
Correct answer
D. Total mass = 234 g and number of molecules = 1.8066 10²⁴
Step-by-step solution
The molecular formula of benzene is C₆H₆ . Molar mass of benzene = 6 12 + 6 1 = 78 g/mol . Total mass of 3 moles of benzene = 3 78 = 234 g . Number of molecules in 3 moles = 3 6.022 10²³ = 18.066 10²³ = 1.8066 10²⁴ . Answer: Total mass = 234 g and number of molecules = 1.8066 10²⁴
