Best Answer

9.675 g

Since oxygen has an average atomic weight of 15.999 g/mol that would make it 0.21 moles of oxygen.

Ethanol has one atom of oxygen per molecule so that means 0.21 moles of ethanol.

Since ethanol has a molecular weight of 46.07 g/mole, 0.21 moles of ethanol would have a mass of 9.675 g.

Ethanol has the formula C2H6O and has a molar mass of 24+6+16 = 46 g/mol. If there are 3.36 g of O, then first convert that to moles: moles O = 3.36g x 1mol/16g = 0.21 moles O. Since each mole CH3CH2OH contains 1 mole O, there will be 0.21 moles CH3CH2OH. Mass of ethanol will thus be
0.21 moles ethanol x 46 g/mole ethanol = 9.66 grams

How many moles of ethanol C2H5OH are in a sample which weighs 39.2g?

Because the formula shows that each molecule of ethanol contains 2 atoms of carbon, 6* atoms of hydrogen, and 1 atom of oxygen, the gram molecular mass of one mole of ethanol is the sum of twice the gram atomic mass of carbon, 6 times the gram atomic mass of hydrogen, and the atomic mass of oxygen: 46.07. Therefore, 39.2 grams of ethanol constitutes 39.2/46.07 or 0.851 mole, to the justified number of significant digits. ________________ The subscript 5 immediately after the first appearance of the atomic symbol for hydrogen in the formula, plus the implied subscript 1 of the second appearance of the atomic symbol for hydrogen in the formula.
