Answer:

The formula mass of MgCl2 is 95, 3 grams (the weight of 1 mol of compound)

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of MgCl2:

Weight of 1mol of MgCl2=atomic weight Mg + (atomic weight Cl)x 2=

24, 3 grams + 2 x 35, 5 grams = 95, 3 grams/mol MgCl2

Calculate the moles of 12.354 grams of c6h12o6

gavmur [86]

The correct answer is 0.06857 moles.

C₆H₁₂O₆, that is, glucose has six carbons, twelve hydrogens, and six oxygen atoms. The atomic weight of C, H and O are as follows:

Six atoms of carbon = 6 × 12.01 g = 72.06 g

Twelve atoms of hydrogen = 12 × 1.008 g = 12.096 g

Six atoms of oxygen = 6 × 16.00 g = 96.00 g

So, the molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 72.06 g + 12.096 g + 96.0 g = 180.156 g.

It can also be written in the form as 180.16 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ is equal to 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆or 180.16 g/mole (as the molar mass)

Now, there is a need to find moles of 12.354 grams of C₆H₁₂O₆. So, the final conversion is:

12.354 g C₆H₁₂O₆ × 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ / 180.16 g C₆H₁₂O₆

= 0.06857 moles

Why is water essential to living things? (1 pc

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Living organisms need water to survive. Many scientists even believe that if any extra-terrestrial exists, water must be present in their environments. All oxygen-dependent organisms need water to aid in the respiration process. Some organisms, such as fish, can only breathe in water. Other organisms require water to break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body.

What are the mole fraction and the mass percent of a solution made by dissolving 0.21 g KBr in 0.355 L water? (d = 1.00 g/mL.) m

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Mol fraction H2O = 0.99991

Mol fraction KBr = 0.00009

mass % KBr = 0.059 %

mass % H2O = 99.941 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of KBr = 0.21 grams

Molar mass KBr = 119 g/mol

Volume of water = 355 mL

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Molar mass water = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass water

Mass water = 355 mL * 1g /mL

Mass water = 355 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles water

Moles water = mass water / molar mass water

Moles water = 355 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles water = 19.7 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles KBr

Moles KBr = 0.21 grams / 119 g/mol

Moles KBr = 0.00176 moles

Step 5: Calculate total moles

Total moles = 19.7 moles + 0.00176 moles

Total moles = 19.70176 moles

Step 6: Calculate mol fraction

Mol fraction H2O = 19.7 moles / 19.70176 moles

Mol fraction H2O = 0.99991

Step 7: Calculate mol fraction KBr

Mol fraction KBr = 0.00176 / 19.70176

Mol fraction KBr = 0.00009

Step 6: Calculate mass %

mass % KBR = (0.21 grams / (0.21 + 355) grams) *100%

mass % KBr = 0.059 %

mass % H2O = (355 grams / 355.21 grams) *100%

mass % H2O = 99.941 %

How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?<br><br> Help!!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately $1.53 \times 10^{23}$ formula units ( $0.254\; \rm mol$ ).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium ( $\rm Mg$ ) and chlorine ( $\rm Cl$ ):

$\rm Mg$ : $24.305$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .

In other words, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms would be (approximately) $24.305\; \rm g$ .

Likewise, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms would be approximately $35.45\; \rm g$ .

One formula unit of the ionic compound $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of the formula units of this compound.

The formula $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes one $\rm Mg$ atom and two $\rm Cl$ atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of $\rm MgCl_{2} \!$ would include the same number of atoms: one $\rm Mg\!$ atom and two $\rm Cl\!$ atoms. There would be $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms and $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms in $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units.

Thus, the mass of $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units would be equal to the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms plus the mass of $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms. (The mass of $1\; \rm mol\!\!$ of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the formula mass of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ is $95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Therefore, the number of formula units in $m = 24.2\; \rm g$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Multiple $n$ by Avogadro's Number $N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}$ to estimate the number of formula units in $0.254\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}$ .

Maya prepared 0.50 liters of a solution by dissolving 2.0 moles of an unknown compound in water. What is the molarity of the sol

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

4 M

Explanation:

Molarity can be represented by the following ratio:

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Since you have been given both the mass and volume, you can plug the values into the equation and solve for molarity.

Molarity = moles / volumes

Molarity = 2.0 moles / 0.50 L

Molarity = 4 M
