Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol
number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol
To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.
Mg Cl
Number of
moles 6.8 13.56
Dividing
by the smallest 6.8/6.8 13.56/6.8
1 2
The formula of the compound is MgCl₂
This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
To convert the mass of a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol and its molar mass. In this case, we are given with 19.0 grams of magnesium chloride which has a mass of 95.21 g/mol. Hence the answer is 1.20 x 10^23 formula units.
There are approximately 160 grams in 1 mol of fe203 molecules therefore there would be 79/160 = 0.49375 mols of fe203 molecules in 79 grams therefore 5 atoms in total for each molecule of fe203 therefore 79/160 *5 =79/32=2.46875 mols in atoms
