You will want to find how many grams are in a whole mole so you know which element it is. To do this, find out how much of a mole you have.
4.95 x 10^23 atoms / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms (one whole mole of any element) = .8219860511 or ~82% of 1 mole
Now we know that, find what to multiply 20 g by to get the rest of the mole.
1 mole / .8219860511 mole = 1.216565657
20 g x 1.216565657 = ~24.33 g / mol
Now that you have grams per mole, you can look at the periodic table and the molar masses to see which this number is closely aligned.
Your answer is Magnesium (Mg), which has a molar mass of 24.305 g
Answer:
5.00 mol Mg
10.0 mol Cl
40.0 mol O
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Moles of Mg(ClO₄)₂: 5.00 mol
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Mg
The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Mg is 1:1.
5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 1 mol Mg/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 5.00 mol Mg
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Cl
The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:2.
5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 2 mol Cl/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 10.0 mol Cl
Step 4: Calculate the number of moles of O
The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:8.
5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 8 mol O/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 40.0 mol O
Gain 1.
This is because of Chlorine's placement on the periodic table. Chlorine is a Halogen, thus being located in group 17 or 7A. This means it is one of the closest elements to being a Noble Gas or group 18/8A.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and in order for it to become a Noble Gas, it needs 8. Cl- is typically the symbol used to represent this as Chlorine needs to gain an electrons instead of lose; once Chlorine gains the electron, it will be stable.
This also means that Chlorine has a high ionization energy or, in simpler terms, it would be difficult to remove an electron from Chlorine.
Hope this helps!
