Which of the following sequences describe how a four stoke engine cycle powers the engine
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A four cycle engine works with 4 basic steps to a successful rotation of the crankshaft: the intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke. Each engine cylinder has four openings for the intake, exhaust, spark plug and fuel injection. ... The compression makes the air-fuel combination volatile for easier ignition.

How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?<br><br> Help!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately 1.53 \times 10^{23} formula units (0.254\; \rm mol).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium (\rm Mg) and chlorine (\rm Cl):

  • \rm Mg: 24.305.
  • \rm Cl: 35.45.

In other words, the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms would be (approximately) 24.305\; \rm g.

Likewise, the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms would be approximately 35.45\; \rm g.

One formula unit of the ionic compound \rm MgCl_{2} includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of 1\; \rm mol of the formula units of this compound.

The formula \rm MgCl_{2} includes one \rm Mg atom and two \rm Cl atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of \rm MgCl_{2} \! would include the same number of atoms: one \rm Mg\! atom and two \rm Cl\! atoms. There would be 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms and 2\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms in 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm MgCl_{2} formula units.

Thus, the mass of 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm MgCl_{2} formula units would be equal to the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms plus the mass of 2\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms. (The mass of 1\; \rm mol\!\! of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the formula mass of \rm MgCl_{2} is 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Therefore, the number of formula units in m = 24.2\; \rm g of \rm MgCl_{2} would be:

\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Multiple n by Avogadro's Number N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} to estimate the number of formula units in 0.254\; \rm mol:

\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}.
