Step-by-Step Analysis
We start by extracting the given data and calculating step by step.
- PABA mass = 0.80 g; M(PABA) = 137.14 g/mol.
Number of moles of PABA = 0.80 g ÷ 137.14 g/mol ≈ 0.00583 mol. Rounding to two significant figures gives 0.0058 mol.
- Ethanol volume = 10 mL; density = 0.789 g/mL.
Mass of ethanol = 10 mL × 0.789 g/mL = 7.89 g. Rounding ......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers
