Answer:
Explanation:
Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:
= 2.25 mol of chlorine
= 0.750 mol of Al.
To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.
So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly .
However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be .
Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6

Explanation:
To convert from moles to grams, we must use the molar mass (also known as the gram formula mass).
First, look up the molar masses of the elements in the formula.
- C: 12.011 g/mol
- H: 1.008 g/mol
- O: 15.999 g/mol
Next, multiply by the subscript, because it tells us the number of atoms of each element in the formula.
- C₉: 4(12.011 g/mol)= 108.099 g/mol
- H₈: 8(1.008 g/mol)= 8.064 g/mol
- O₄: 4(15.999 g/mol)= 63.996 g/mol
Add the values.
- 108.099 + 8.064+63.996=180.159 g/mol
Use this molar mass as a ratio.
Multiply by the given number of moles, 0.40
The units moles of aspirin cancel.
The original number of moles has 2 sig figs (4 and 0), so answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is the ones place. The 0 in the tenth place tells us to leave the 2.
