What mass of sodium chloride contains 4.59 x 10 24 formula units?

1 answer:

7 0

The term formula units means molecules.

Then, what you are looking for is the mass in 4.59*10^24 molecules.

The procedure involves to convert the 4.59 * 10^24 molecules into moles and use the molar mass of the sodium chloride.

1) Number of moles = 4.59 * 10^24 molecules / (6.02 * 10^23 molecules/mol) = 7.62 mol

2) Molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

3) mass of NaCl = molar mass * number of moles = 58.44 g/mol * 7.62 mol = 445.31 g of NaCl

Answer: 445.31 g of NaCl.

Explain how to convert a mass of compound A to a mass of compound D in words with no equations using the following reaction 2A +

leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is:

2A + 4B → C + 3D

We know the mass of compound A in the reaction above. We are to find the mass of compound D.

We simply work from the known mass to calculate the mass of the unkown compound D

Using the mole concept, we can find the unknown mass.

Procedures

We first find the molar mass of the compound A from the atomic units of the constituent elements.
We then use the molar mass of A to calculate its number of moles using the expression below:

Number of moles of A = $\frac{mass of A}{molar mass of A}$
