Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Aluminium sulfate?
The molar mass of Aluminium sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) is 342.132 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 17 atoms in one formula unit: 12 × 15.999 + 3 × 32.060 + 2 × 26.982 = 342.132.
What is the molecular weight of Aluminium sulfate?
342.132 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 342.13 and a molar mass of 342.13 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Aluminium sulfate?
100 ÷ 342.132 = 0.2923 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Aluminium sulfate?
By mass, Aluminium sulfate is 56.12% oxygen, 28.11% sulfur, 15.77% aluminum. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 342.132.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Aluminium sulfate?
17: 12 oxygen, 3 sulfur, 2 aluminum. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Aluminium sulfate contains 17 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
