<u>Answer:</u> The number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium chloride is 1.0357\times 10^{23}

<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 magnesium chloride = 16.4 g

Molar mass of magnesium chloride = 95.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of }MgCl_2=\frac{16.4g}{95.2g/mol}=0.172mol

Formula units is defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculated by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is 6.022\times 10^{23}

We are given:

Number of moles of magnesium chloride = 0.172 moles

Number of formula units = 0.172\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.0357\times 10^{23}

Hence, the number of formula units in the given amount of magnesium chloride is 1.0357\times 10^{23}

29.47 mL of a solution of the acid HBr is titrated, and 72.90 mL of 0.2500-M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point. Ca
Klio2033 [76]

The original concentration of the acid solution is 6.175 \times 10^-4 mol / L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume

                        HBr + NaOH -----> NaBr + H2O

There is a 1:1 equivalence with acid and base.

Moles of NaOH = 72.90 \times 10^-3 \times 0.25

                          = 0.0182 mol.

[ HBr ] = moles of base / volume of a solution

          = 0.0182 / 29.47

          = 6.175 \times 10^-4 mol / L.

Which substance used during photosynthesis does a plant take in from the soil?
Simora [160]

Answer:

the answer is water

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
