Question

How many moles of compound are in 23.3 g of Na2B4O7·10H2O?

### Educational Content: Determining Moles of a Compound

**Question:**
How many moles of compound are in 23.3 g of \( \text{Na}_2\text{B}_4\text{O}_7 \cdot 10\text{H}_2\text{O} \)?

**Response Field:**
- Input: [______] mol

**Details:**
- The number of significant digits is set to 3.
- The tolerance is set at +/- 2%.

### Explanation:
To find the number of moles of the compound, calculate the molar mass of \( \text{Na}_2\text{B}_4\text{O}_7 \cdot 10\text{H}_2\text{O} \) and use the formula:

\[ \text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Mass (g)}}{\text{Molar Mass (g/mol)}} \]

Ensure your answer accounts for significant digits and falls within the specified tolerance.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass of Na2B4O7·10H2O= 23.3 g

Element  Atomic mass
Na 22.989770
B 10.811
O 15.9994
H 1.00794

 

The molar mass of Na2B4O7·10H2O=22.98977 x 2 + 10.811 x 4 + 15.9994 x 7 + 10 x (1.00794 x 2 + 1 x 15.9994)

The molar mass of Na2B4O7·10H2O=381.3721 g/mol
