Homework Statement


How many grams are there in 6.80 moles of potassium sulfide? How many moles are there in 200g of barium nitride?

Homework Equations



I just want to see if i got the right answer

The Attempt at a Solution


for part A. i got 759g by multiplying 6.80x110.24(molar mass of K2S)

part B. 0.455 mol by dividing 200?439.99(molar mass of Ba3N2)
 
Physics news on Phys.org

Discussion

From "Thermodynamics An Engineering Approach" by Cengel and Boles, "Molar mass can be defined as the mass of one mole of a substance in grams, or the mas of one kmol (kilogram-mole) in kilograms." then they go on to say "The mass of a system is equal to the product of it's molar mass M and mole number N."

You should be able to get it on your own now.

Thanks
Matt
