Question
Chapter 9, Problem 12A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The quantity which is a conversion factor between mass of sample and number of moles needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The number of moles is related to mass and molar mass. Molar mass is defined as the mass of 1 mol of a substance.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 12A
Molar mass (g/mol)
Explanation of Solution
Consider a sample of a substance that weighs, 'm' grams and contains 'n' number of moles. The quantities- mass and moles are related by the following equation:
Conclusion
Therefore, molar mass (M) which is the mass corresponding to 1 mole of the substance is the conversion factor between 'mass' and 'moles'.
