To determine the mass of 10.0 moles of [tex]\( \text{CH}_2\text{O}_2 \)[/tex], we can use the molar mass of the compound. The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, which is given in grams per mole (g/mol). According to the provided information:
- The molar mass of [tex]\( \text{CH}_2\text{O}_2 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 46.03 \, \text{g/mol} \)[/tex].
We also know that we have [tex]\( 10.0 \)[/tex] moles of [tex]\( \text{CH}_2\text{O}_2 \)[/tex].
To find the total mass of [tex]\( 10.0 \)[/tex] moles of [tex]\( \text{CH}_2\text{O}_2 \)[/tex], we use the relationship:
[tex]\[
\text{Mass} = \text{Number of Moles} \times \text{Molar Mass}
\][/tex]
Plugging in our values:
[tex]\[
\text{Mass} = 10.0 \, \text{moles} \times 46.03 \, \text{g/mol}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Mass} = 460.3 \, \text{g}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the mass of [tex]\( 10.0 \)[/tex] moles of [tex]\( \text{CH}_2\text{O}_2 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 460.3 \, \text{g} \)[/tex].
