Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the mass of one mole of aluminum and related stoichiometric conversions involving moles and molecules of various substances. Participants are checking answers from a worksheet and seeking clarification on specific calculations.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant states that the mass of one mole of aluminum is 26.981 grams and provides additional mole calculations for other substances.
  • Another participant confirms the correctness of some earlier calculations and explains how to convert molecules to moles using Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole).
  • A participant expresses confusion about the setup of the equation used for the conversion and seeks clarification on the placement of values in the equation.
  • Further clarification is provided regarding the manipulation of the equation to isolate the variable representing moles.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the method for converting molecules to moles, but there is some confusion regarding the equation setup and the interpretation of the calculations.

Contextual Notes

Some calculations may depend on significant figures, and there is an assumption about the correct placement of values in the conversion equation that remains unresolved.

Hi,

I saw a few of the first ones and they seemed right... sry, kind of lazy to check all of them.

for the last one


1 mole = 6.022*10^23 molecules ... in other words:

___1mole________________ = ___x-moles_____
6.022*10^23molecules_____8.30 x 10^25molecules


\

now solve for x just by multiplying 8.30*10^25
which gives you 137.8279641 moles.
Now, if you count sig. digits that would be 138 moles.

I don't blame ya, it's a wonder that I did them all myself.:smile:

How are you getting that? I'm a bit confused...I'm assuming, hopefully correctly, that you meant to put the 8.30 x 10^25 on the top, not the bottom? Otherwise, I'm lost.:-p
 
Its an equation. when you multiply 8.30*10^25 on both sides, the 8.30*10^25 on the right side cancels out and you put it on the left side too ( on top of the equation) then just divide, and as you see, molecules cancel out, leaving you with just moles.

Remember you are solving for the variable "x-moles"
