To do this, you need to know the molecular weight of the element you're dealing with, by adding up the atomic weights of the elements involved (found on any Periodic Table). The molecular weight is the mass in grams of the compound in one mole - this will provide you with a conversion factor. So take the measurement in grams and divide it by the molecular weight to convert to moles. Really what you're doing is multiplying the number by 1 mole, and dividing it by the equivalent of one mole, the molecular weight. That's the thought process behind unit analysis and how you get your "units to cancel".
In this case, the answer is about .25 moles O2.

How many grams in 15 moles of 02?

15 moles of 02 equal 480 g.


How many grams of water are made from complete reaction of 2.2 moles of oxygen gas with hydrogen gas?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen is2H2 + 02 -> 2H2OThus 2.2 moles of oxygen reacts with 4.4 moles of hydrogen to form 4.4 moles of steam (water in gaseous state).The mass of H2O obtained is thus 4.4 x 18.0 = 79.2g.


How many grams of 02(g) are needed to completely burn 23.7 g of C38H(g)?

The balanced equation is C3H8 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O moles C3H8 = 23.7 g x 1 mol/44 g = 0.539 moles moles O2 needed = 5 x 0.539 moles = 2.695 moles O2 (it takes 5 moles O2 per mole C3H8) grams O2 needed = 2.695 moles x 32 g/mole = 86.2 grams O2 needed (3 sig figs)

The answer is 1,72 moles.


How many grams of magnesium are needed to react with 16g of 02?

I assume you mean this reaction. 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO 16 or 160 ??? Either way the form is the same. We will use the 16 grams. 16 g O2 (1 mole O2/32 grams)(2 mole Mg/1 mole O2) = 1.0 mole magnesium needed ======================

If a compound is 26 percent nitrogen and 74 percent oxygen what is the emprical formula?

First you want to think "if I had 100 grams of this compound". If you do this, then you will be able to use the percentages as measurements in grams. Completing the sentence: "if I had 100 grams of this compound, then I would have 26 grams of nitrogen and 74 grams of oxygen". The next step is converting the grams to moles.Grams ÷ Atomic weight = moles26.0 grams ÷ 14.0 grams = 1.86 moles N74.0 grams ÷ 16.0 grams = 4.63 moles OThis is a ratio of 1.86:4.63 and is not recognizable as a small whole number ratio. (If this doesn't make sense, see the Law of Definite Proportions). In order to make the two numbers whole numbers, a trick is to divide both by the smallest number. Doing this will ensure that one number will always be 1.1.86 moles N ÷ 1.86 = 14.63 moles O ÷ 1.86 = 2.49Because the last digit is always uncertain to .02, we can say that 2.49 is actually 2.5. Now your ratio is 1:2.5, yet these are still not whole numbers. When you have an increment of .5, then multiply everything by 2.1:2.5 × 2 = 2:5 or 2 nitrogen : 5 oxygenYour final answer is N2O5


What mass of nitrogen is required to react with 16 grams of oxigen?

4 NH3 + 5 O2 ---> 4 NO + 6 H2Omoles NH3 used = 36.3 g x 1 mole/17 g = 2.14 molesmoles O2 needed = 2.14 moles (note a 1mole to 1mole ratio of O2 to NH3 in balanced equation)grams O2 needed = 2.14 moles x 32g/mol = 68.48 grams needed


How many grams of oxygen gas is contained in 11.2L 02 gas at stp?

To determine how many atoms are present in 56 liters of oxygen gas at STP you first need to know that there are two atoms in a single molecule. Then, you would work the scientific formula to determine the number of molecules in the oxygen gas.
