Question

Calculate the number of Na ions and Cl ions and total number of ions in 14.5g of NaCl.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of Na ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

Number of Cl ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

Total number of ions =  1.49 × 10²³  +  1.49 × 10²³ = 2.98 × 10²³.

Explanation:

1 mole of any compound contains 6.023 × 10²³ molecules.

molecular weight of NaCl is 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g.

so, 58.5 grams of NaCl makes 1 mole

⇒ 14.5 g of NaCl = $\frac{14.5}{58.5}$ =  0.248 moles.

⇒ 0.248 mole contains 0.248 × 6.023×10²³ molecules

=  1.49 × 10²³ molecules.

And 1 molecule contains 1 Na ion and 1 Cl ion.

⇒ number of Na ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

⇒ number of Cl ions in 14.5 g of NaCl is 1.49 × 10²³.

Total number of ions =  1.49 × 10²³  +  1.49 × 10²³ = 2.98 × 10²³.
