Question

Convert 8.05 moles of magnesium carbonate to formula units.

Answer 1

Answer: The number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium carbonate is $48.4771\times 10^{23}$

Explanation:

Formula units is defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is $6.022\times 10^{23}$

We are given:

Number of moles of magnesium carbonate = 8.05 moles

Number of formula units = $8.05\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=48.4771\times 10^{23}$

Hence, the number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium carbonate is $48.4771\times 10^{23}$

Answer 2

The answer would be 84.3139.
