<u>Answer:</u> The number of formula units in the given amount of NaCl are 1.1\times 10^{18}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of NaCl = 0.11 mg = 1.1\times 10^{-4}g      (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{1.1\times 10^{-4}g}{58.5g/mol}=1.88\times 10^{-6}mol

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of formula units

So, 1.88\times 10^{-6}mol moles of NaCl will contain = (1.88\times 10^{-6}\times 6.022\times 10^{23})=1.1\times 10^{18} number of formula units

Hence, the number of formula units in the given amount of NaCl are 1.1\times 10^{18}

How many molecules are in 2.50 moles of SO2
dusya [7]

Every compound or element has a fixed number of molecules per mole. This is given by the Avogadros number which is about 6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole. Therefore:

 

molecules = 2.50 moles * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mole)

<span>molecules = 1.5055 x 10^24 molecules of SO2</span>
