1. Find the molar mass of platinum (Pt):
* Look up the atomic mass of platinum on the periodic table. It's approximately 195.08 g/mol.
2. Use the formula:
* moles = mass / molar mass
3. Plug in the values:
* moles = 10.0 g / 195.08 g/mol
* moles ≈ 0.0513 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 0.0513 moles of platinum in 10.0 g of the metal.
