Answer : The moles of given compound is, 0.064 mole
Explanation : Given,
Mass of given compound = 40 g
Atomic mass of X = 50 amu
Atomic mass of Y = 45 amu
Atomic mass of Z = 10 amu
First we have to calculate the molar mass of given compound.
The given compound formula is, [tex]X_5Y_7Z_6[/tex]
Molar mass of [tex]X_5Y_7Z_6[/tex] = (5 × Atomic mass of X) + (7 × Atomic mass of Y) + (6 × Atomic mass of Z)
Molar mass of [tex]X_5Y_7Z_6[/tex] = (5 × 50) + (7 × 45) + (6 × 10) = 625 g/mol
Now we have to calculate the moles of given compound.
[tex]\text{Moles of given compound}=\frac{\text{Mass of given compound}}{\text{Molar mass of given compound}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of given compound}=\frac{40g}{625g/mol}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Moles of given compound}=0.064mol[/tex]
Thus, the moles of given compound is, 0.064 mole
