What is the difference between a chemical formula and a molecular formula.

Chemistry

Molecular formula indicates the simple number of each type of atom in molecule with no information on structure. Chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical propagation of atom that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols.

How many moles are in 98.3 grams of aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3?
Musya8 [376]
We have to calculate the molar mass of  AL(OH)₃
Atomic mass (Al)=27 amu
Atomic mass (O)=16 amu
Atomic mass (H)=1 amu

molecular weight= 27 amu+3(16 amu + 1 amu) =78 amu.

Therefore, the molar mass of Al (OH)₃ is 78 g/ mol

Now, we calculate the number of moles in 98.3 g of aluminum hydroxide.

78 g-------------------1 mol
98.3 g-----------------  x

x=(98.3 g * 1 mol) / 78 g=1.26 moles.

Answer: 1.26 moles.

I have a helpful trick for such problems. 

Step 1:
Write the equation asked with exact moles given in question,

                                       PCl₃ + Cl₂   →   PCl₅            --------(1)
Step 2:
Write equations given in data along with energies,

                               P₄ + 6Cl₂     →   4PCl₃       Δ<span>H = −1280 kj  -----(2)
</span>
                               P₄ + 10Cl₂   →   4PCl₅       ΔH<span> = −1774 kj  -----(3)

Step 3:
Compare the equation 1 with eq 2 and 3 and modify eq 2 and 3 according to eq 1 both in terms of reactant and product and number of moles. For example in eq 1 PCl</span>₃ is on left hand side and its number of moles is one, so, modify eq, 2 according to eq 1 both in terms of moles and reactant product sides. i.e.
By inter converting eq 2, the sign of energy will change from negative to positive, and divide eq 2 with 4, to have its ratio's equal to eq 1

                             PCl₃   →   1/4 P₄  +  1.5 Cl₂            ΔH  =  +320 KJ

Same steps are done for eq 3, but in this case signs are not changed only moles are changed

                            1/4P₄ + 2.5Cl₂   →   1/4PCl₅            ΔH = −443.5 kj
Now, 
Compare both last equations,

                             PCl₃   →   1/4 P₄  +  1.5 Cl₂            ΔH  =  +320 KJ


                            1/4P₄ + 2.5Cl₂   →   4/4PCl₅            ΔH = −443.5 kj
                        _____________________________________________

                          PCl₃  +  Cl₂     →     PCl₅                   ΔH = -123.5 KJ

Does an ion have the same atomic mass as a neutral atom
larisa86 [58]
<span>Atoms vs. Ions. Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.</span>
