Answer:
6
Explanation:
This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.
<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
