Many ionic compounds form crystal structures. How and why does this happen?

1 answer:

6 0

Ions bound together by electrostatic attraction form ionic crystals. ... A simple cubic crystal lattice has ions equally spaced in 3D at 90° angles. Stability of ionic solids depends on lattice energy, which is released in the form of heat when two ions are brought together to form a solid.

Given 40 grams of magnesium. How many mole is this

Dahasolnce [82]

To determine the moles in 40 grams of magnesium, we need the atomic weight. This can easily be found on a periodic table. For this problem, let's use 24.305 grams/mole.

We are going to set up an equation to determine this problem. In this equation, we want all our units to cancel out except for 'moles.'

$\frac{40 g Mg}{1} x\frac{1 mole Mg}{24.305 g Mg}$

In this, we can see that the unit 'grams' will cancel out to leave us with moles.

In solving the equation, we determine that there are approximately 1.65 moles of Magnesium.
