Calculate the number of grams of sulfuric acid ([tex]H_2SO_4[/tex]) in 6.00 mol.

A. 98.1 g
B. 588 g
C. 5.00 g
D. 6.00 g
E. 16.3 g

Answer :

Final answer:

To find the mass of sulfuric acid in grams from its moles, we multiply the number of moles (6.00 mol) by the molar mass of sulfuric acid (98.12 g/mol) to get 588.72 g, with the closest answer being 588 g. The correct option is b.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of grams of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) in 6.00 mol, we need to use the molar mass of sulfuric acid. The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is calculated as follows:

Molar mass = (2 × 1.01) + 32.1 + (4 × 16) = 98.12 g/mol.

Now, we multiply the number of moles by the molar mass to find the mass in grams: Mass of H₂SO₄ = number of moles × molar mass = 6.00 mol × 98.12 g/mol.

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 588.72 g.

Therefore, the number of grams of sulfuric acid in 6.00 mol is 588.72 g. The closest answer choice is b. 588 g. The correct option is b.
