Explanation:
It is known that number of moles is the amount of mass present in a given molar mass of the substance.
Mathematically, No. of moles =
We are given that mass of is 0.255 g and molar mass of is 133.34 g/mol.
Therefore, number of moles of is calculated as follows.
No. of moles =
=
= mol
Since, there are three chlorine atoms present in one mole of . Therefore, moles of chlorine ions present in given 0.255 g will be calculated as follows.
mol
=
Thus, we can conclude that chloride ions are in 0.2550 g of aluminum chloride using 's molar mass of 133.34 g/mol.
