How many formula units are in 325 grams of iron (III) chloride?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1.204 × 10^24 formula units

Explanation:

Using the following formula to convert mass of iron (III) chloride to moles;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of FeCl3 = 56 + 35.5(3)

= 56 + 106.5

= 162.5g/mol

Mole = 325/162.5

mole = 2mol

Next, to calculate the formula units of FeCl3, we multiply the number of moles of FeCl3 by Avagadro number (6.02 × 10^23)

Formula units of FeCl3 = 2 × 6.02 × 10^23

12.04 × 10^23

= 1.204 × 10^24 formula units.

How to I find the number of electrons in and Atom?
Inessa [10]
Look at the atomic number of an element on the periodic table which is the smaller number.
The atomic number shows the number of protons/electrons so the number of protons and electrons are the same.
Whereas the mass number of an element (the other number) is the number of protons + neutrons.
