Brontis is working in his lab? To continue his experiment he needs to calculate the total number of ions in 3.65 mol of MgCl2. Calculate the total number of ions in 3.65 mol of MgCl2
There are 6.02E23 molecules in 1 mol of MgCl2.
Each mols MgCl2 contains 3 ions.
To calculate the total number of ions in 3.65 mol of MgCl2, we need to first determine the number of ions produced by one molecule of MgCl2.
MgCl2 dissociates in water to form one magnesium ion (Mg2+) and two chloride ions (Cl-). Therefore, each molecule of MgCl2 produces three ions.
Next, we calculate the total number of molecules of MgCl2 in 3.65 mol by using Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules per mole.
Number of molecules = 3.65 mol × (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) = 2.1953 x 10^24 molecules
Since each molecule produces 3 ions, we multiply the number of molecules by 3 to find the total number of ions.
Total number of ions = 2.1953 x 10^24 molecules × 3 ions/molecule = 6.586 x 10^24 ions
Therefore, there are approximately 6.586 x 10^24 ions in 3.65 mol of MgCl2.
