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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdfb5e0e0-201d-4cf8-afd1-44e158f05a1a%2Fc5386553-e05f-4f2a-9a44-41f63a7a499c%2Fsajo1ye_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

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
