Answer:
7.5×10²³ ions
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of magnesium sulfate = 75.0 g
Number of ions = ?
Solution:
Number of moles of magnesium sulfate:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 75.0 g/ 120.36 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.623 mol
Magnesium sulfate formula: MgSO₄
Number of moles of ions in 1 mole of MgSO₄ = 2 mol (Mg²⁺ and SO₄²⁻)
Number of moles of ion in 0.623 moles of MgSO₄:
2 mole ×0.623 = 1.246 mol
Number of ions:
1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ ions
1.246 mol × 6.022×10²³ ions / 1mol
7.5×10²³ ions
