12. Precious metals are commonly measured in troy ounces. A troy ounce is
equivalent to 31.1 g. How many moles are in a troy ounce of gold? How many
moles are in a troy ounce of platinum? of silver?

moles of phenol is this?
14. A student needs 0.015 mol of iodine crystals, I
2
, for an experiment. What mass
of iodine crystals should the student obtain?
15. The weight of a diamond is given in carats. One carat is equivalent to 200. mg.
