C3.1.6 Moles, need help!
Been stuck on this for ages, and its due in tomorrow haha, any help?

the way i was taught moles is through the equation:
mass = moles x Mr
(which i remember through Mr mole lives in his hole)
mass
Mr x moles
for
a. you would find the Mr of calcium carbonate (100), and you have been given the mass which is 15. so you would do moles = mass/Mr, moles = 15/100 , moles = 0.15
b. for b, i would assume you use a ratio to solve it. in the equation there are no big numbers in front of any of the compounds meaning that the CaCO3 and CaO is a 1:1 ratio which means there is 0.15 moles which are produced.
c. we take the 0.15 moles from the previous question and use it in the equation above. so we work out the Mr (40 + 16 = 56), and do the equation: mass = Mr x moles, mass = 56 x 0.15, mass = 8.4g
mass = moles x Mr

a Calculate the number of moles in 17 g of sodium oxide. (2 marks)
for this question use the same equation, moles = mass/mr
moles = 17 / ((23x2) + 16)
moles = 0.27
b Calculate the maximum mass of sodium nitrate that can be produced in this reaction. (3 marks)
equation that needs to be used is mass= mr x moles
we can work out the moles by a ratio, Na2O is represented by 1, and because 2NaNO3 has a 2 in front of it, it is a 1:2 ratio meaning we have to multiply 0.27 by 2 which = 0.54 moles
we then calculate the Mr = (2 x 23) + (2 x 14) + (16 x 6) = 170 (remember everything is multiplied by 2 because of the big number at the front)
we now do: 170 x 0.54 = 91.8g
