Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) 13.5 moles
Explanation:
· The formula to calculate moles is:
· Moles= Given mass / Molar mass
· Molar mass of Helium (He) = 4 g/mol.
· Given mass = 54 g.
· Moles = 54 ÷ 4 = 13.5.
· Therefore, 54 g of helium contains 13.5 moles.
Information Booster:
· 1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro’s number of particles (6.022 × 10²³ atoms or molecules).
· Helium being a noble gas exists as monoatomic atoms, so 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of He.
