Which of the following would weigh the highest?

Mass of given sample = Molar mass X number of moles

m = M X N


(a) 0.2 moles of sucrose (C12H22O11):


Molar mass of sucrose (C12H22O11) = 342g/mole


Thus, the mass of 0.2 moles of sucrose (C12H22O11) = 342 X 0.2


= 68.4g


(b) 2 moles of CO2 = 2×44 = 88g


(c) 2 moles of CaCO3 = 2×100 = 200 g


(d) 10 moles of H2O = 10×18 = 180


Thus, the mass of 0.2 moles of sucrose (C12H22O11) would weigh the highest.
