mol of Al
e. 2.1 mol of Al
2. What information does the formula of ethanol (CH3CH2OH) contain? How many moles of ethanol are present in 920 g of ethanol?
3. Mr. Deeble recently opened his own chemical plant in Basseterre. His financial advisor Tyrah, has discovered a new technique for boosting company profit. If the company can cheaply extract the pure form of a new metal M from its oxide, the metal could be sold at 3x the price of production. What is the empirical formula of this oxide, given the following:
Total mass of metallic oxide: 80.763 g
Mass of metal is 74 % of the total mass
(It was later discovered the new metal held 11 protons, 12 neutrons & 11 electrons)
