1.	The approximate production of Na2CO3 per month is 424 x 106 g while that of methyl alcohol is 320 x 106 g. Which is produced more in terms of moles?
Answer» Na₂CO₃ mass = 424 x 10⁶ g Molecular mass of Na₂CO₃ = (23 x 2) + 12 + (16 x 3) = 46+ 12 +48 = 106 g No. of moles of Na₂ CO₃= (Mass of Na₂CO₃) / (Molecular mass of Na₂CO₃) = (424 x 10⁶g) / 106 g = 4 x 10⁶ moles Methyl alcohol mass = 320 x 10⁶ g Molecular mass of CH₃OH = 12 + (1 x 4)+ 16 = 12 + 4 + 16 = 32 g No. of moles of Methyl alcohol = (Mass of Methyl alcohol) / (Molecular mass of Methyl alcohol) = (320 x 10⁶g) / 32 g = 10 x 10⁶ moles. ∴ Methyl alcohol is more produced in terms of moles.

Answer»

Na₂CO₃ mass = 424 x 10⁶ g

Molecular mass of Na₂CO₃

= (23 x 2) + 12 + (16 x 3)

= 46+ 12 +48

= 106 g

No. of moles of Na₂ CO₃= (Mass of Na₂CO₃) / (Molecular mass of Na₂CO₃)

= (424 x 10⁶g) / 106 g

= 4 x 10⁶ moles

Methyl alcohol mass = 320 x 10⁶ g

Molecular mass of CH₃OH = 12 + (1 x 4)+ 16

= 12 + 4 + 16

= 32 g

No. of moles of Methyl alcohol = (Mass of Methyl alcohol) / (Molecular mass of Methyl alcohol)

= (320 x 10⁶g) / 32 g

= 10 x 10⁶ moles.

∴ Methyl alcohol is more produced in terms of moles.
