1. What is the gram molecular weight of wax (molar mass)?

C25H52
C=12.01(25) = 300.25 +
H= 1.01(52) = 52.52
352.77g/mol

2. How many moles of wax were in the original candle?

37.58gC25H52 x 1mol = 37.58 = 0.1065molC25H52
353.77g C25H52 352.77

3. How many molecules of wax were in the original candle?

= 0.1065mol x 6.02 x 1023
1mol
= 0.1065 x 6.02 x 1023
= 6.411 x 1024 molecules

4. How many moles of wax were used up during the 3 minutes of burning?
= 0.18gC25H52 x 1mol
352.77gC25H52

Ca = 1 x 40.08 = 40.08g
S = 1 x 32.07 = 32.07g
O = 4 x 16.00 = 64.00g
Total = 136.15g/mol
4. How many molecules of chalk were in your name?
= 0.11gCaSO4 x 1mol x 6.02 x 1023gCaSO4
136.15gCaSO4 1mol
