zarkam21:

@Shadow

kittybasil:

That confused face lol

kittybasil:

Try this.

zarkam21:

@Tranquility

Tranquility:

To convert from moles to grams, you need to use the molar mass. moles * molar mass = grams molar mass is how many grams in 1 mole

zarkam21:

1.6605 x 10^-24

Tranquility:

And you can find it from the periodic table

Tranquility:

Uh that's wrong

kittybasil:

* ^* a wild Tranquility appeared

kittybasil:

@Tranquility is my molar mass wrong? or

zarkam21:

No, 1amu=1.6605 x 10^-24

zarkam21:

so it would be (58.71) * (1.6605 x 10^-24)

zarkam21:

To determine the grams

zarkam21:

Noooo, ugh

Tranquility:

58.69 grams/mol

zarkam21:

Im just converting the mass into grams

zarkam21:

oh it is already in grams? @Tranquility

zarkam21:

I don't have to convert it?

Tranquility:

Yeah, you don't need to convert it

kittybasil:

\[\text{grams of element given}\times\frac{\text{mass in grams of element}}{\text{1 mol element}}\]

kittybasil:

uh. that's upside down, the conversion factor sorry

kittybasil:

flip the fraction before you multiply lol
