Can two different elements have same number of moles? example?
just sayin'..a random question!

anonymous · Answer

what do u mean by same number of moles?

dls · Answer

x gram of an element and x gram of another element give the same number of moles?

anonymous · Answer

oh.ok

anonymous · Answer

it cant be

anonymous · Answer

because there is no 2 elements with the same mass number

dls · Answer

it depends on mass in gram too.

$$H_2 O + CO_2$$
i have 1 mole of water and 1 mole of carbon dioxide...is that what you're asking?

chmvijay · Answer

it is not possible for elements but it can be possible for molecules having same molecular formula but different structural formula!!!!

lgbasallote · Answer

oh wait yeah..elements sorry...yup it cant be

chmvijay · Answer

i dint get ulgbasallote

unklerhaukus · Answer

isotopes of different element could have the same mass number

anonymous · Answer

hmmmm....this is a tricky question, because technically 1 mole = 6.022 x 10^23 particles, regardless of the element.  So in this sense, a mole of hydrogen would be equal to a mole of say carbon.  If you're talking about the weight of one mole compared to another, then no...because elements differ in mass.

dls · Answer

What I meant is..
number of mole=mass in gram/atomic mass
can this formula lead to two same answers for two different elements
I know every element differs in atomic mass but by adjusting the mass in gram(increasing or decreasing) can't we get the same answer? something like 0.42 moles etc..?
