Question

What is the molar mass of MgCl2? Report your answer to the nearest 0.1 g/mol.

Answer 1

Answer:

95.2 g/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the molar mass of MgCl2

We have to separately see the molar masses of Magnesium and Chlorine

Molar mass of Magnesium: 24.305 g/mol

Molar mass of Chlorine: 35.453 g/mol

As there are two atoms of chlorine in the said molecule so the molar mass of chlorine will be multiplied by 2.

35.453*2 = 70.906 g/mol

So the total molar mass of the said molecule = Molar mass of Mg + Molar mass of two atoms of chlorine

= 24.305 + 70.906

=95.211 g/mol

Rounding off to .1

95.2 g/mol
