Answer:
0.500 moles
Explanation:
In order to convert grams of any given substance into moles, we need the substance's molar mass:
- Molar Mass of CH₃Br = Molar Mass of C + (Molar Mass of H)*3 + Molar Mass of Br
We can find the molar masses of each element in the periodic table:
- Molar Mass of CH₃Br = 94.94 g/mol
Now we can divide the given mass by the molar mass in order to calculate the number of moles:
- 47.5 g ÷ 94.94 g/mol = 0.500 moles
