Question

How many chloride ions are in 2.6 moles of CaCl2?

Answer 1

Answer:

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻ are present in 2.6 moles of CaCl₂ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CaCl₂ = 2.6 mol

Number of Cl₂ ions = ?

Solution:

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

In one mole of CaCl₂ there are two moles of chloride ions present.

In 2.6 mol:

2.6×2 = 5.2 moles

1 mole Cl⁻ =   6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻ ions

5.2 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻  / 1mol

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻
