Sulfur trioxide can react with atmospheric water vapor to form sulfuric acid that falls as acid rain. Calculate the mass in grams of 3.65 × 1020 molecules of SO3.

Respuesta :

Answer: The mass of sulfur trixoide is 0.0485 g

Explanation:

We are given:

Molecules of sulfur trixoide = [tex]3.65\times 10^{20}[/tex]

According to mole concept:

[tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of molecules are present in 1 mole of a compound

So, [tex]3.65\times 10^{20}[/tex] number of molecules will be present in = [tex]\frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 3.65\times 10^{20}=6.06\times 10^{-4}mol[/tex]

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

Moles of sulfur trixoide = [tex]6.06\times 10^{-4}mol[/tex]

Molar mass of sulfur trioxide = 80 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]6.06\times 10^{-4}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }SO_3}{80g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }SO_3=(6.06\times 10^{-4}mol\times 80g/mol)=0.0485g[/tex]

Hence, the mass of sulfur trixoide is 0.0485 g
