A sample of crude oil contains 3.13 mM naphthalene, 12.0 mM methylnaphthalene, 23.8 mM dimethylnaphthalene, and 14.1 mM trimethylnaphthalene. What is the total number of moles of all the naphthalene compounds contained in 100.0 mL of crude oil? Do not enter your answer in scientific notation
1mM = 0.001M
MOLARITY = NO.OF MOLES*1000/VOLUME OF THE SOLUTION
NO.OF MOLES = MOLARITY*VOLUME OF THE SOLUTION/1000
1) NO.OF MOLESOF NAPATHALENE = MOLARITY*VOLUME OF THE
SOLUTION/1000
NO.OF MOLESOF NAPATHALENE = 0.00313*100/1000 =0.000313moles
2)
NO.OF MOLESOF methyl NAPATHALENE = MOLARITY*VOLUME OF THE
SOLUTION/1000
NO.OF MOLESOF NAPATHALENE = 0.012*100/1000 =0.0.0012moles
3) NO.OF MOLESOF dimrthylNAPATHALENE = MOLARITY*VOLUME OF
THE SOLUTION/1000
NO.OF MOLESOF diNAPATHALENE = 0.0238*100/1000 =0.00238moles
4) NO.OF MOLESOF trimethylNAPATHALENE = MOLARITY*VOLUME OF
THE SOLUTION/1000
NO.OF MOLESOF tri methylNAPATHALENE = 0.0141*100/1000 =0.00141moles
total no.of moles= 0.000313 + 0.0012 +0.00238+0.00141
total no.of moles=0.005303moles
