Answer:
0.791 moles are present in the sample
Explanation:
To convert mass to moles of a substance you must find the molar mass of the susbtance.
The molar mass of C₂H₆ is:
2C = 12.01g/mol*2 = 24.02g/mol
6H = 1.01g/mol*6 = 6.06g/mol
Molar mass = 24.02g/mol + 6.06g/mol = 30.08g/mol is the molar mass of C₂H₆
And the moles of 23.8g of this substance are:
23.8g * (1mol / 30.08g) =
0.791 moles are present in the sample
