Answer to Question #139477 in Chemistry for Biengs

Question

A vitamin syrup for infants contains 27.44 mg of zinc sulfate monohydrate (ZnSO4.H2O) and 100.00 mg of ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) for every 5 ml.

If there are 10.00 moles of ascorbic acid, what is the mass (in grams) of ascorbic acid?

Note: Round off your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

n = m/M

m = n x M

M (C₆H₈O₆) = 176.12 g/mol

m (C₆H₈O₆) = 10 x 176.12 = 1 761.2 g
