Explanation:

For Mg, (1.2 g Mg/24 g Mg) = 0.05 mol Mg.

For Cl, (3.55 g Cl/35.5 g Cl) = 0.1 mol Cl

So the ratio now is

Mg:Cl = 0.05 : 0.1 = 1:2

I got the 1:2 ratio by dividing both by the smallest number, which is 0.05 mol. Therefore, the empirical for formula of the substance is MgCl_2

How many grams of K2Cr207 are in 250. mL of 0.500M of K2Cr207:
goldenfox [79]

<u>Analysing the Question:</u>

We are given a 250 mL solution of 0.5M K₂Cr₂O₇

Which means that we have:

0.5 Mole in 1L of the solution

0.125 moles in 250 mL of the solution      <em>[dividing both the numbers by 4]</em>

<em />

<u>Mass of K₂Cr₂O₇ in the given solution:</u>

Molar mass of K₂Cr₂O₇(Potassium Dichromate) = 194 g/mol

<em>we know that we have 0.125 moles in the 250 mL solution provided</em>

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 0.125 * 194

Mass = 36.75 grams
