  • Calculating the Mass of Sulfur Trioxide (SO₃): A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mass of 6.11 moles of sulfur trioxide (SO₃):

    1. Find the molar mass of SO₃:

    * Sulfur (S) has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol.

    * Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol.

    * SO₃ has one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms, so its molar mass is: 32.06 g/mol + (3 * 16.00 g/mol) = 80.06 g/mol

    2. Use the formula: mass = moles * molar mass

    * mass = 6.11 moles * 80.06 g/mol

    * mass ≈ 488.9 g

    Therefore, 6.11 moles of sulfur trioxide have a mass of approximately 488.9 grams.
