Answer:
.0787 moles
Explanation:
I'm assuming you mean moles of gold present as the "amount."
This is a moles to moles calculation, so we set it up as such:
*Note that 15.5g Au is given to us, and 197 g / mol of Au is gold's molar mass.
15.5g Au * (1 mol Au / 197 g Au) = ?
We can evaluate the equation to get 15.5 / 197 to get .0787 moles of Au.
