How much substance is 14 g of silicon?

Given:
m (Si) = 14 g.

To find:
n (Si) -?

Decision:
If we know the mass of a substance, then its amount can be found by the formula n = m / M (Where n is the amount of the substance, m is the mass of the substance, M is the molar mass of the substance).
Molar mass (M) silicon (Si) = 28 g / mol.
Now we substitute the known to the formula for finding the amount of substance.
n (Si) = 14 g / 28 g / mol.
n (Si) = 0.5 mol.

Answer: n (Si) = 0.5 mol.
