A sample of calcium oxide CaO has a mass of 2 point 8 0 g The molar mass of CaO is 56 point 0 8 g over mol How many moles of CaO does this sample contain?

Use moles = mass ÷ molar mass. For this sample, 2.80 g ÷ 56.08 g/mol = 0.0499 mol (to three significant figures). Therefore, the sample contains 0.0499 moles of CaO, which is choice B.
