Question

How many atoms of fluorine are in 5.6x10^22 molecules of MgF2.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.12 x 10²³atoms of F

Explanation:

Number of MgF₂ atoms = 5.6 x 10²² molecules;

 The unknown here is the number of Fluorine atoms found in the compound.

In MgF₂,

     1 mole of MgF₂ contains 2 moles of F;

From the given number of molecules we can also say that, MgF₂ contains 5.6 x 10²²atoms;

           1 mole of MgF₂ contains 2 moles of F;

    5.6 x 10²²atoms of MgF₂ will contain 2 x   5.6 x 10²² = 1.12 x 10²³atoms of F
