Anyone here good at chemistry??

I really need help with the mole formula,

heres an example:

Calculate the actual number of molecules and atoms in:
0.9g of H2O (atomic weight: H=1, O=16)

So what i did was:

18 = 0.9 (sorry its being wierd. 9.0 over X)
--------- ---------------
6.02X10²³ X

and then i cross multiplied and got:

molecules: 3.01X10²²
atoms: 9X10²³

So i basically wanna know if my formula was correct. Sorry if this is confusing lol

the formula the way you typed it only allows you to divide the two or just leave it as a really improper fraction, i think you need something on the otherside of equals sign

i thought this was gonna be about love.

=[

hope someone can help, but i sucked at science, always. i mean, chemistry i actually did decent in because i understood some of it, but like most people, i forgot it as soon as i was told i'd never have to do it again.

yea its 18 over 6.02X10²³ = 0.9 over X

for some reason 0.9 keeps going next to 18 lol

lol, okay other than that, it looks okay to me, but im not the best at chemistry

yea im thinking its the right formula, but i just wanna make sure

Ive been looking on the internet but none of it makes sense. I think connan is good at chem so maybe he'll help lol

karasu are you in hs?

nope first year of college

oh.
it's cause i use to do this when i was in 7th grade and then when was in jr in hs :/
is it cause we're in different states? or cause my school was special and wants its students to overwork themselves?

Chemistry. boy, i don't miss that from last year.

I took it senior year, but it was senior year so i didnt really care lol

Now im taking it seriously for the first time

i took it because i had to take it, and i'm never taking it again.
the only chemicals i'm going to work with are fixers, developers, and alcohol.
i hate science. it's so boring.

I love science, but i dont like the math side of it. Biology and all that stuff i can handle, i just cant stand formulas and shit

i think the formulas are easy, but maybe that's just cause i'm good at math

as the queen of off-topic here I go again sorry for hijacking your thread karasu, but furst uff awl, congratulations to your win. it was awsomeness personified. second of all is that you in your avatar you skinny bitch?

thanks XD and yes

but im not as skinny as i look in that pic


oh and ps i found the right answer and i was correct

Hmm I can tell u how to do it haha first convert grams to moles of water( which u did) take that number and multiply by (avagadros number/ 1 mol h2o) and multiply that by ( 2 H atom/ 1 molecule) . This will give u the atoms of H. Repeat it for oxygen, except substitute 1 O atom.

For molecules, end at avagadros number ( don't multiply atoms/molecule)


Hope that helps. Sorry if its confusing I did it from memory and via texting LOL do u get the same answers?

FOUR!
YAY! I'M SO SMART!

hmmm well i went on a website and they said to divide 0.9g by 18g and then multiply by avagadros number. so i did that and i got the same answer.

I know theres a formula, by my professor never said it in class.

thanks for helping though =)

the site is right, thats mole conversion. (x grams H2O/1) x ( 1 mole/ 18g H2O) = moles h20

Its the same as (x grams h2o/ 18 grams)
let me know if u have more questions, my biochem minor just became useful LOL

will do lol
