how many grams are represented by 1.45 moles of Koh? Determine your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

Explanation:

We are asked to convert 1.45 moles of potassium hydroxide (KOH)  to grams.

The molar mass is the mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance. The values are found on the Periodic Table. They are the same as the atomic masses but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

We have the compound KOH. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

The formula for the compound has no subscripts, so there is 1 mole of each element in 1 mole of the compound. We can simply add the molar masses.

Based on the molar mass, there are 56.105 grams of KOH in 1 mole. Create a ratio using this information.

We are converting 1.45 moles of KOH to grams, so we multiply by this value.

The units of moles of KOH cancel.

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the tenths place. The 5 in the hundredths place (81.35225) tells us to round the 3 up to a 4.

Approximately 81.4 grams of potassium hydroxide are represented by 1.45 moles.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
