Given that the density of TlCl(s) is 7.00 g/cm3 and that the length of an edge of a unit cell is 385 pm, determine how many form

ula units of TlCl there are in a unit cell.

Here's my best guess
the volume of the unit cell is (385*10^-12)^3=5.7066*10^-29 m^3
multiply by density to get mass mass = (7 g/cm^3)*(100^3 cm^3 / 1^3 m^3) * 5.7066*10^-29 m^3= 3.99466*10^-22 g
covert to moles 3.99466*10^-22 g * 1 mol / 239.82 g = 1.6657 *10^-24 mol
convert to number of units

1.6657 *10^-24 mol * 6.23*10^23 units/mol = 1.04

385 pm = 3.85*10^(-8) cm

The volume of the unit cell is the cube of that, which is 5.71*10^(-23) cm^3. Since the ratio of mass to volume (i.e. the density) must be the same no matter what amount of TlCl you have, you can say:
7 = x/(5.71*10^(-23)), where x is the mass of the unit cell. Solving for x, you get 4*10^(-22) g.

The mass of a molecule of TlCl is 240 amu, which in grams is 4*10^(-22) g. The mass of the unit cell and the mass of a molecule of TlCl is the same. Therefore there is one formula unit of TlCl per unit cell.

Why are the molecules of hydrogen chloride gas (hcl) more tightly bound to each other than molecules of oxygen gas (o2)?
Oduvanchick [21]
Answer : If we consider the molecule of oxygen gas which in diatomic state, is bonded to other atom which is of same element this is called as homonuclear.

While in HCl there is a heteronuclear bonding observed because there are two different elements getting involved in the bond formation, also  it creates a electrovalent species in itself and makes it more polar. They are creating a dipole moment by separating different charges in the molecule which cause it to get tightly bonded with each other.

Tasya [4]
Ksp for FeCO₃ is 3.07 x 10⁻¹¹
Ksp for MgCO₃ is 6.82 x 10⁻⁶
So Fe²⁺ will precipitated first as solubility product of FeCO₃ is lower than solubility product of MgCO₃
Ksp FeCO₃ = [Fe²⁺][CO₃²⁻] 
3.07 x 10⁻¹¹ = (2.3 x 10⁻²) [CO₃²⁻]
[CO₃²⁻] = 1.33 x 10⁻⁹ M to precipitate Fe²⁺ ions

Ksp MgCO₃ = [Mg²⁺][CO₃²⁻]
6.82 x 10⁻⁶ = (2.0 x 10⁻²) [CO₃²⁻]
[CO₃²⁻] = 3.4 x 10⁻⁴ M to precipitate the Mg²⁺ ions

Ksp FeCO₃ = [Fe²⁺][CO₃²⁻]
3.07 x 10⁻¹¹ = [Fe²⁺] (3.4 x 10⁻⁴)
[Fe²⁺] = 9 x 10⁻⁸ M when Mg²⁺ ions precipitate
