Question

Determine the number of moles in 3.13 × 10²³ formula units of MgCl₂.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.52 moles

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L}$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{3.13 \times {10}^{23} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } = \frac{3.13}{6.02} \\ = 0.519933$

We have the final answer as

0.52 moles
