The mass of 1.72 mol of magnesium fluoride is 107 grams.
To determine the mass of 1.72 mol of magnesium fluoride, we first need the chemical formula of magnesium fluoride. Magnesium forms a +2 ion (Mg+2) and fluoride forms a -1 ion (F-1). Since all compounds formed from ions have to be electrically neutral, we need 2 fluoride ions and 1 magnesium ion. Therefore, the formula for magnesium fluoride is MgF2.
Now we need to determine the molar mass of the compound from the molar mass values from the periodic table. Let's use a table to calculate this molar mass.
Molar mass of MgF2
Element Molar Mass (g/mol) Quantity Total (g/mol)
Mg 24.31 1 24.31
F 19.00 2 38.00
Total molar mass of MgF2 = 24.31 g/mol + 38.00 g/mol = 62.31 g/mol
This is the mass of one mole of the substance. If we have 1.72 mols of it, we multiply 1.72 by 62.31.
1.72 mol (62.31 g/mol) = 107 grams
We rounded to 107 to keep the correct number of significant digits in our answer.
You must use 64.43 g H₂O.
<em>Balanced chemical equation</em>: H₂O + CO₂ → H₂CO₃
<em>Moles of CO₂</em> = 157.35 g CO₂ × (1 mol CO₂/44.01 g CO₂) = 3.5753 mol CO₂
<em>Moles of H₂O</em> = 3.5753 mol CO₂ × (1 mol H₂O/1 mol CO₂) = 3.5753 mol Fe
<em>Mass of H₂O</em> = 3.5753 mol H₂O × (18.02 g H₂O /1 mol H₂O) = 64.43 g H₂O
Powdered coke prevent the heat loss. As a result, it prevents burning of carbon electrodes.
