<u>Given:</u>
Mass of MgBr2 = 0.500 g
<u>To determine:</u>
Number of anions in 0.500 g MgBr2
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molar mass of MgBr2 = 24 + 2 (80) = 184 g/mol
Moles of MgBr2 = 0.500 g/184 g.mol-1 = 0.00271 moles
Based on stoichiometry-
1 mole of MgBr2 has 1 mole of Mg2+ cations and 2 moles of Br- anions
Therefore, 0.00271 moles of MgBr2 will have: 2 * 0.00271 = 0.00542 moles of Br-
Now,
1 mole of Br- contains 6.023 * 10²³ anions
0.00542 moles of Br- contain: 0.00542 * 6.023*10²³ = 3.264*10²¹ anions
Ans: There are 3.264*10²¹ anions in 0.5 g of MgBr2
D. or C. I think it is more D. than anything else
Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.
