How many moles of Calcium Carbonate are present in 1.75 kg of Calcium Carbonate? (Ar of Ca = 40, Ar of C = 12, Ar of O = 16)

Correct answer: D. 17.5 mol

  • A. 1.75 mol
  • B. 1750 mol
  • C. 0.0175 mol
  • D. 17.5 mol

Explanation

The molar mass of CaCO3 (40 + 12 + 16 + 16 + 16) is 100g per mole. If one mole equals 100g, than 1750g (1.75 kg x 1000) equals 1750/100, which is 17.5 mol so, D is the answer.
