How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)? Help!!

Chemistry

NNADVOKAT [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Approximately 1.53 \times 10^{23} formula units (0.254\; \rm mol).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium (\rm Mg) and chlorine (\rm Cl):

  • \rm Mg: 24.305.
  • \rm Cl: 35.45.

In other words, the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms would be (approximately) 24.305\; \rm g.

Likewise, the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms would be approximately 35.45\; \rm g.

One formula unit of the ionic compound \rm MgCl_{2} includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of 1\; \rm mol of the formula units of this compound.

The formula \rm MgCl_{2} includes one \rm Mg atom and two \rm Cl atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of \rm MgCl_{2} \! would include the same number of atoms: one \rm Mg\! atom and two \rm Cl\! atoms. There would be 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms and 2\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms in 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm MgCl_{2} formula units.

Thus, the mass of 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm MgCl_{2} formula units would be equal to the mass of 1\; \rm mol of \rm Mg atoms plus the mass of 2\; \rm mol of \rm Cl atoms. (The mass of 1\; \rm mol\!\! of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the formula mass of \rm MgCl_{2} is 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Therefore, the number of formula units in m = 24.2\; \rm g of \rm MgCl_{2} would be:

\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Multiple n by Avogadro's Number N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} to estimate the number of formula units in 0.254\; \rm mol:

\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}.

Identify the type of bonding within each substance. Co ( s ) ionic covalent metallic CoCl 2 ( s ) covalent ionic metallic CCl 4
krok68 [10]

Answer:

1. Co ( s ) - metallic bonding

2. CoCl₂ ( s ) - ionic bonding

3. CCl₄ ( l ) - covalent bonding

Explanation:

Metallic bonding -

It is the type of bonding present between the atoms of the metals , via the electrostatic interaction between the metal and the delocalized electrons , is known as metallic bonding .

For example ,

Mostly metals show metallic bonding .

Ionic bonding -

It is the type of bonding present between the ions i.e. , the cation and the anion is known as ionic bonding .

For example ,

Mostly ionic compound , like salts show ionic bonding .

Covalent bonding -

It is the type of bonding which is present between shared pair of electrons , is known as covalent bonding .

For example ,

Most of the carbon compounds are capable to show covalent bonding .

Hence , from the question ,

1. Co ( s ) - metallic bonding

2. CoCl₂ ( s ) - ionic bonding

3. CCl₄ ( l ) - covalent bonding

  • Given mass=1.3g
  • Atomic mass=65u

Molar mass=65g/mol

Now

\boxed{\sf No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}}

\\ \rm\longmapsto No\:of\;Moles=\dfrac{1.3}{65}=0.02mol

A gas has a pressure of 8.5atm and occupies 24L at 25∘C. What volume (in liters) will the gas occupy if the pressure is increase
Vesna [10]

The volume (in liters) that the gas will occupy if the pressure is increased to 13.5 atm and the temperature is decreased to 15 °C is 15 L

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 8.5 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 24 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Final pressure (P₂) = 13.5 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

<h3>Final volume (V₂) =? </h3>

  • The final volume of the gas can be obtained by using the combined gas equation as illustrated below:

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\\\frac{8.5 * 24}{298}  = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\ \frac{204}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\

Cross multiply

298 × 13.5 × V₂ = 204 × 288

4023 × V₂ = 58752

Divide both side by 4023

V_{2} = \frac{58752}{4023}\\\\

<h3>V₂ = 15 L </h3>

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 15 L

You pimp air into your volleyball the ball mass is?
Mumz [18]

Answer: When it comes to maintaining your volleyball ball, there are some things you should get accustomed to doing. One of the most important is knowing how to inflate it. The professionals keep the psi of a ball at 0.3 to 0.325 for indoor balls and at 0.175 to 0.225 for beach, or outdoor, balls.
