15. How many moles of carbon tetrachloride (CCI) is represented by 543.2 g of carbon tetrachloride? The atomic weight of carbon is 12.01 and the atomic weight of chlorine is 35.45.
O A. 11.4 moles
O B.3.53 moles
C. 5.42 moles
D. 8.35x10 moles

well, first off. the formula for carbon tetrachloride is CCl4

We need to find the molar mass of carbon tetrachloride

1(Mass of C) + 4(mass of chlorine)

1(12) + 4(35.5)

12 + 142

154 g/mol

Number of moles of CCl3 in 543.2g CCl3

n = given mass / molar mass

n = 543.2/153

n = 3.53 moles

always remember to the questions you find helpful

hey your not cool]      

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
