Answer:
The student should have multiplied the molar mass, which was not found, by the number of moles to get an answer of 925grams of Ca(OH)2.
Please find the correct step below
Explanation:
According to the question attached, the student was asked to find the mass in grams of a 12.5mol of Ca(OH)2.
Using the formula;
mole = mass ÷ molar mass
Molar mass of Ca(OH)2 = 40 + (16 + 1)2
= 40 + 17(2)
= 40 + 34
= 74g/mol
From the above formula;
Mass in grams = mole × molar mass
Mass (g) = 12.5 × 74
Mass (g) = 925grams of Ca(OH)2.
