Answer:
Judging from the wording of he question, you mean units. If that is indeed the case, the answer is g/Mol (grams per mol)
Let me know if my interpretation is incorrect and please tell me what you are actually trying to find.
Answer:
What mass (g) of barium iodide is contained in 188 mL of a barium iodide solution that has an iodide ion concentration of 0.532 M?
A) 19.6
B) 39.1
C) 19,600
D) 39,100
E) 276
The correct answer to the question is
B) 39.1 grams
Explanation:
To solve the question
The molarity ratio is given by
188 ml of 0.532 M solution of iodide.
Therefore we have number of moles = 0.188 × 0.532 M = 0.100016 Moles
To find the mass, we note that the Number of moles =
from which we have
Mass = Number of moles × molar mass
Where the molar mass of Barium Iodide = 391.136 g/mol
= 0.100016 moles ×391.136 g/mol = 39.12 g
<span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals.
More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>
