2.50 g CuCl2 equals how many moles
2 answers:
Explanation:
Number of moles is defined as the mass of substance given in grams divided by the molar mass of substance.
It is given that mass of is 2.50 g and molar mass of
is 134.45 g/mol.
Therefore, calculate number of moles as follows.
Number of moles of
=
= 0.0186 mol
= 0.019 mol (approx)
Thus, we can conclude that 2.50 g CuCl2 equals 0.019 moles (approx).

solution:
The quoted atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the WEIGHTED average of the individual isotopic masses. The higher the isotopic percentage, the MORE that isotope will contribute to the isotopic mass. For this reason, most masses that are quoted on the Table are non-integral.
By way of example we could look to the hydrogen atom. The VAST majority of hydrogen atoms (in this universe) are the protium isotope. i.e. 1H, whose nuclei contain JUST the defining proton. There is a smaller percentage (>1%) of hydrogen atoms WITH one NEUTRON in their nuclei to give the deuterium isotope. i.e. 2H, and because this is relatively cheap, and easily incorporated into a molecule, deuterium labelling is routinely used in analysis.
And there is even a smaller percentage of hydrogen atoms with TWO NEUTRONS in their nuclei, to give the tritium isotope. i.e. 3H. The weighted average of the isotopic percentages gives
