    Mass of potassium dichromate
    What is the mass of 5.00moles of potassium dichromate?

    I was guessing it would be 294.18 x 5.00 but I could be wrong, any suggestions? Thanks :)
    What would the correct formula be?

    If 294.18 is the correctly determined molecular mass, then yes you're right. Do you understand why?

    Important: what are the units?

    Would it be?
    1470.9 g/mol?

    Because you have the mass times how many moles the potassium dichromate has and that should give you the molecular mass.. ahh its so confusing.

    The 294.18 is g/mol. Your result is just g. the mass.

    So its 294.18g?

    My teacher is marking it out of 2 marks so that why I figured there had to be some kind of formula to figure out

    You have to correctly determine the molecular mass first, which is 294.18 and i assume you have the working for, then the mass you need to multiply that by the number of moles.

    294.18 x 5.00 = 1470.9 g?
