The number of gram molecules of water in a beaker containing 576 g of water is (b) 32.
Given: A beaker containing 576 g of water.
To Find: The number of gram molecules of water in a beaker containing 576 g of water.
Solution:
- We need to use the concept of stoichiometry to solve this numerical.
We know that,
- 1 mole of a compound = molecular mass of the compound
- 1 mole of a compound = 1 gram-molecule of the compound
Coming to the numerical, we have,
The mass of water given = 576 g
The molecular mass of water (H2O) = ( 2 × 1 ) + 16
= 18 g
So, from stoichiometry, we can say that;
1 mole of H2O = 18 g of H2O = 1 gram-molecule of H2O
⇒ 18 g of H2O = 1 gram-molecule of H2O
⇒ 1 g of H2O = ( 1 / 18 ) gram-molecule of H2O
⇒ 576 g of H2O = ( 576 / 18 ) gram-molecule of H2O
= 32 gram-molecule of H2O
Hence, the number of gram molecules of water in a beaker containing 576 g of water is (b) 32.
