How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?<br><br> Help!!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately $1.53 \times 10^{23}$ formula units ( $0.254\; \rm mol$ ).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium ( $\rm Mg$ ) and chlorine ( $\rm Cl$ ):

$\rm Mg$ : $24.305$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .

In other words, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms would be (approximately) $24.305\; \rm g$ .

Likewise, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms would be approximately $35.45\; \rm g$ .

One formula unit of the ionic compound $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of the formula units of this compound.

The formula $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes one $\rm Mg$ atom and two $\rm Cl$ atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of $\rm MgCl_{2} \!$ would include the same number of atoms: one $\rm Mg\!$ atom and two $\rm Cl\!$ atoms. There would be $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms and $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms in $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units.

Thus, the mass of $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units would be equal to the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms plus the mass of $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms. (The mass of $1\; \rm mol\!\!$ of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the formula mass of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ is $95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Therefore, the number of formula units in $m = 24.2\; \rm g$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Multiple $n$ by Avogadro's Number $N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}$ to estimate the number of formula units in $0.254\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}$ .

The equation shows lead reacting with sulfuric acid to produce lead sulfate and hydrogen gas.

timofeeve [1]

This equation represents a single replacement reaction. Single replacement reactions consist of one element reacting with one compound on the reactant side (left side of the equation) and they form one new element and one new compound on the product side of the equation (right side).

Most atoms have no net charge because they have

Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

One quarter of a 1-mole piece of iron turns to rust in six months. Which rate describes the speed at which the iron rusts?

avanturin [10]

1/4 mol = 0.25 mol

6 months = 0.5 year

rate = 0,25 mol / 0.5 year = 0.5 mol/year or approx 0.042 mol/month

What happened during the Renaissance that encouraged progress in the study of matter?

lukranit [14]

During the dark ages-All that wasn't around the christian religion were lost. Knowledge and discoveries before the Dark Ages were mainly in Greek ideas. Biblic scripts however were in Latin. Therefore all inventions up to the dark ages were lost and only religious scripts preserved in the churches. Outside the church, no one knew how to write, read or even communicate.
