Question

A student synthesizes tin oxide to create a compound with generic formula SnxOy. She does this by combining 30.80 g of tin and when the tin oxide product is produced, the total mass of the product is 39.10 g.

Given that oxygen has a molar mass 15.999 g⋅mole-1, the number of moles of oxygen in the product is

A) 0.51888

B) 132.81

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : mass of product = 39.10 g 

         Mass of oxygen= 30.80 g
