Given :

Mass of niobium (Nb) = 237 g

To determine:

The Number of moles of niobium in the given mass

Explanation:

In chemistry, moles (n) is a unit of measurement which is given by the ratio of the mass of the substance (m)  to its atomic or molar mass (M)

i.e.  n = 'm'  in grams/ 'M' in grams.mole⁻¹

The atomic mass of Nb = 94 g/mol

Thus,

n = 237 g/ 94 g.mol⁻¹ = 2.521 moles

Ans: Number of moles of Nb rounded off to the nearest tenth is 2.5 moles

Answer: The number of moles of given amount of niobium is 2.6 moles

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]

We are given:

Given mass of niobium = 237 g

Molar mass of niobium = 93 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\text{Moles of niobium}=\frac{237g}{93g/mol}=2.55mol[/tex]

Hence, the number of moles of given amount of niobium is 2.6 moles
