  • Calculating Moles in 1 kg of Ethylene Glycol (C2H6O2) - Step-by-Step
    Here's how to calculate the number of moles in 1 kg of C2H6O2 (ethylene glycol):

    1. Find the molar mass of C2H6O2:

    * Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol * 2 = 24.02 g/mol

    * Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol * 6 = 6.06 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol * 2 = 32.00 g/mol

    Total molar mass = 24.02 g/mol + 6.06 g/mol + 32.00 g/mol = 62.08 g/mol

    2. Convert kilograms to grams:

    * 1 kg = 1000 g

    3. Calculate the number of moles:

    * Moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

    * Moles = 1000 g / 62.08 g/mol

    * Moles ≈ 16.11 moles

    Therefore, there are approximately 16.11 moles in 1 kg of C2H6O2.
