You have been working to develop a new fictitious compound in the lab. Determine the amount in units of moles [mol] of 40 grams [g] of this compound. The compound has the formula: Upper X 5 Upper Y 7 Upper Z 6, where the components are X, amuequals50; Y, amuequals45; Z, amuequals10.

Answer : The moles of given compound is, 0.064 mole

Explanation : Given,

Mass of given compound = 40 g

Atomic mass of X = 50 amu

Atomic mass of Y = 45 amu

Atomic mass of Z = 10 amu

First we have to calculate the molar mass of given compound.

The given compound formula is,

Molar mass of = (5 × Atomic mass of X) + (7 × Atomic mass of Y) + (6 × Atomic mass of Z)

Molar mass of = (5 × 50) + (7 × 45) + (6 × 10) = 625 g/mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of given compound.

Thus, the moles of given compound is, 0.064 mole
