Question

Calculate the mass of calcium chloride that contains 3.20 x 1024 atoms of chlorine.

Answer 1

Answer:

294.87 gm  CaCl_2

Explanation:

The computation of the  mass of calcium chloride is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

Number of moles of chlorine atom is

= 3.20 × 10^24 ÷ 6.022 × 10^23

= 5.314 moles

As we know that

1 mole CaCl_2 have the 2 moles of chlorine atoms

Now 5.341 mole chloride atoms would be

= 1 ÷ 2 × 5.314

= 2.657 moles

Now

Mass of CaCl_2 = Number of moles × molar mass of  CaCl_2

= 2.657 moles × 110.98 g/mol

= 294.87 gm  CaCl_2
