Answer:
Number of moles = 0.042 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles = ?
Mass of calcium carbonate = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
now we will calculate the molar mass of calcium carbonate.
atomic mass of Ca = 40 amu
atomic mass of C = 12 amu
atomic mass of O = 16 amu
CaCO₃ = 40 + 12+ 3×16
CaCO₃ = 40 + 12+48
CaCO₃ = 100 g/mol
Now we will calculate the number of moles.
Number of moles = 4.15 g / 100 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.042 mol
