How many molecules of ethanol, C2H5OH, are contained in a 150. gram sample? 1.96 x 1024
46.0
6.02 x 1023
5.1 x 10-25

1.96 × 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of ethanol (m): 150. g

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles (n) corresponding to 150. g of ethanol

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol.

150. g × 1 mol/46.07 g = 3.26 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of molecules in 3.26 moles of ethanol

To convert moles into molecules, we need Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1  mole of molecules.

3.26 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/1  mol = 1.96 × 10²⁴ molecules

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
