Calculate the number of moles in 23.0g of CO2? ( relative atomic mass : Carbon=12, Oxygen=16)

Firstly we need to work out the molecular mass of CO₂ . There is one carbon and two oxygens so we have to add the relative atomic mass (Ar) of one carbon and two oxygens. From the quest...

Describe, in three steps, how you would synthesise phenylethylamine (C6H5CH2CH2NH2) from methylbenzene, giving reagents and conditions for each step. For each step, state the type of reaction that occurs.

Methylbenzene (C₆H₅CH₃) can be reacted with chlorine in the presence of UV light. The type of reaction is free radical substitution, and this produces phenylchloromethane ...

You have 10g of Sodium Carbonate, how many moles do I have to 2dp?

Sodium Carbonate is Na₂CO₃The molecular formula mass is 2xNa + 1xC + 3xO 2x23 + 1x12 + 3x16 = 106 g/mol m = 10g Mr = 106 g/moln=m/Mrn = 10/106 = 0.09 mol
