<h3>Answer:</h3>

8.09 × 10²² formula units

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mass of MgCl₂ is 12.8 g

Required to calculate the formula units

1 mole of a compound contains the Avogadro's number formula units

That is;

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the moles of MgCl₂ in 12.8 g </h3>

The molar mass of MgCl₂ is 95.211 g/mol

Number of moles = Mass ÷ molar mass

Moles of MgCl₂ = 12.8 g ÷ 95.211 g/mol

                          = 0.1344 mole

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the formula units of MgCl₂</h3>

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ formula units

Therefore;

Number of formula units = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

                                    = 0.1344 mole × 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

                                     = 8.09 × 10²² formula units

Therefore, there are 8.09 × 10²² formula units in 12.8 g of MgCl₂

What is the total pressure (in atm) inside of a vessel containing N2 exerting a partial pressure of 0.256 atm, He exerting a par
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: Total pressure inside of a vessel is 0.908 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual partial pressures. exerted by each gas alone.

p_{total}=p_1+p_2+p_3

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen = 0.256 atm

p_{He} = partial pressure of helium = 203 mm Hg = 0.267 atm  (760mmHg=1atm)

p_{H_2} = partial pressure of hydrogen =39.0 kPa = 0.385 atm  (1kPa=0.00987 atm)

Thus p_{total}=p_{H_2}+p_{He}+p_{H_2}

p_{total} =0.256atm+0.267atm+0.385atm =0.908atm

Thus total pressure (in atm) inside of a vessel is 0.908

In which reaction do four total molecules of reactants produce two total molecules of products?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

option D = N₂ + 3H₂   →   2NH₃

Explanation:

The reaction in which the nitrogen and hydrogen are reacted to form the ammonia is true.

  N₂ + 3H₂   →   2NH₃

In this reaction we can see that one molecules of nitrogen react with three molecules of hydrogen and form two molecules of ammonia.

while the other options are in correct because,

2SO₂  +  O₂    →   2SO₃

In this reaction two molecules of SO₂ react with one molecule of oxygen and form two molecules of SO₃.

2H₂S  +  3O₂   →     2SO₂ + 2H₂O

In this reaction two molecules of H₂S react with three molecules of oxygen and produced four molecules of product.

SnO₂ +  2H₂   →  Sn + 2H₂O

This is also incorrect because three molecules of reactant form three molecules of product.
