Transcript text: What is the mass of $4.50 \times 10^{22}$ formula units of $\mathrm{CoSO}_{4}$ ?
(CoSO4, $154.99 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}$ )
[?] $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{CoSO}_{4}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the number of moles of $\mathrm{CoSO}_{4}$
To find the number of moles, we use Avogadro's number, which is \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\) formula units per mole. The number of moles \(n\) is given by:
\[
n = \frac{\text{number of formula units}}{\text{Avogadro's number}} = \frac{4.50 \times 10^{22}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}
\]
