What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
xenn [34]
<span>To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g</span>

These statements describe three different reactions.
Naily [24]

An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.

Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
