If you have a mole of peas and each pea has a mass of 1.4g, what mass of peas do you have ?

Just wondering, did my teacher make a mistake on this question? Because he doesn't state how many peas I'm solving for.. it seems like the important part of the question is missing. Any thoughts?

Hint: How many atoms in a mole ?

That's a HUGE amount of peas ;)

6.02 x 10^23.. do I times that by 1.4? Lol

8428? Damn that is a lot. Lol

hopfully that's right haha

Right idea, but...

But what? I'm so stuck on this :(

Do I divide it?

WAY too small ;)
Also no units.

Aw I'm so confused :(

What's the forumla for it?

Post #3 is basically correct, but the answer you posted is miles to SMALL and lacks units.

how to do I make it larger if its to small?

lol I'm not to smart when it comes to any of this.. =\ but thank you

Look again at what you posted:


6.02 x 10^23.. do I times that by 1.4?
The answer is YES, but your answer of
8428? Damn that is a lot. is too small.

Then just add units.

OoOoo :D kk I get it! Thank youu so much :):)

So what answer do you get ?

Mmm I got 8.428 g/mol?? :O

Hum... you know how to use your calculator properly? I got the answer... but that isn't like yours... You sure you didn't miss something?:)

Just in case you didn't know:
10^5 = 100,000
10^23 = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Meaning if 2 times 10^23, it will be 20^23, or 2.0 x 10^23 in standard form.

Now, if you take 2.0 x 10^23 times 2, it will give 4.0 x 10^23, not 4.

Check all the numbers displayed on your calculator please.:)

Ill check it again whenI get home from work :)
